They love us – our dogs – and we have to remember that while they are an important part of our lives we are their whole world. Is it any wonder why some breeds enjoy our company far more than their own? Here are 5 dog breed examples:
1) Pug. If it’s not on the list it should be. We know our puggy pal would much rather be cuddled by Mommy or daddy than hanging with his homies.
2) Collie. It should come as no surprise that the dog immortalized in Lassie loves humans. Loves ’em. This sweet-natured breed may be the most people-pleasing of all dog breeds, always looking to care for their hoomans. While they can be quite proud, a Collie is so super loyal that while they may enjoy the dogship of another pup, they’ll want to check in with you often.
3) German Shepherd. Everybody knows that GSDs be brilliant. The second most popular dog breed in the US (according to the American Kennel Club), German Shepherds are loyal, brilliant and are often seen working with the police and military. If their stupendous reputation for working with humans doesn’t convince you, check them out at the dog park. They’re often super friendly with everyone around, but will likely be seen playing fetch with their hooman or tracking the area for fun smells.
4) Australian Shepherd. Like GSDs, Aussies are super intelligent and possess tons of energy. Most of the ones I’ve known in my day were all around love gurus, but preferred the company of their human counterparts over fellow pups. Maybe it’s because they’re so food driven in nature, and they know who’s gonna be providing that next meal! Though they’re often slow to warm up to strangers, Aussies are known for their love of children, likely because kids keep them active and they love nothing more than having a job.
5) Great Dane. Great Danes are, you know, huge. And while this doesn’t stop them from running around and enjoy other puppies, the ones I’ve known have always preferred the company of humans. Often while sitting on them (seriously, what is it with these dogs an sitting on your lap, DON’T THEY KNOW THEY’RE HUGE?). Eager to please and super calm, Danes are very affectionate and love leaning in on their families for ruvin’ and attention.
These are only a small example of some pampered pooches who much prefer the company of their masters to other dogs. For more go to BarkPost.
If you ever doubt your dog’s devotion watch him when you sit down and try to relax in front of the TV. More times than not he’ll try to crawl in your lap, sit by your feet, or just stay in close proximity – to keep an eye on their hero!
