Dogs complete us! Not only
do they offer us love, affection, and loyalty, but they help us adopt a healthy
lifestyle and increase
our lifespan. They give us purpose, they make us
laugh, and they do wonders for the ego; no one admires us as much as our pooch.
While we can agree that all
dogs are awesome, some dogs are better suited for companionship than others.
If you’re looking for a
pet who doubles as your shadow, consider one of the following:
Chihuahua
Chihuahuas don’t always have the best reputations, given their innate
sassiness and tendency to boss everyone around. But, on the bright side,
chihuahuas are incredibly devoted, loving, and expressive. They are happiest
when cuddled up next to their owners as they watch TV or take a nap.
Of course, chihuahuas are also
known to bark at everything, which makes them excellent guard dogs despite
their small stature. As they say, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight;
it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
Maltese
Maltese are highly loving dogs who want nothing more than to
please their masters. The quintessential lapdog, these pooches like to stay as
close to you as possible, often following you around and making a fuss when you
return from the mailbox.
Maltese are generally
playful, expressive, and gentle. As an added bonus, they tend to live long,
healthy lives.
Bichon Frise
Part dog, part fluffy cloud, Bichons Frises are full
of joy and affection. They can range in size from around seven pounds to 12
pounds, making them easy to handle and carry. They catch on quickly and are
simple to train. They’re very low maintenance, as well; as long as they have
companionship, these dogs are content and well-behaved.
Cocker Spaniel
Cocker Spaniels are
among the most popular breeds to own, and for good reason - they are
people-pleasing, laid-back pooches who love to cuddle and play. They like to go
for walks but don’t require any type of strenuous exercise or a yard of their
own. Weighing in around 30 pounds, they’re sturdy but portable.
French Bulldog
French Bulldogs have grown in popularity over
the last few decades. They’re extraordinarily cheerful and happy, making their
owners cheerful and happy, too. They love to be around people and enjoy staying
active. However, their lack of endurance makes them a great companion for
anyone with a moderate lifestyle. French Bulldogs will take a stroll through
the park over a three-mile mountain hike any day.
With so many wonderful
dogs to choose from (i.e., all of them!), it can be hard to know which breed is
right for you. If you’re after companionship, these pups make excellent
choices. They’re full of spunk, devotion, and the desire to be your best friend
forever.
