23 Friendliest Dog Breeds | PetBreeds

2By PetBreeds on July 22, 2015

Finding a new four-legged companion can be tricky because there are dozens of K9 qualities to choose from. Some dogs are overly energetic, while others are detached or aggressive. Depending on your allergies, you may need to find a hypoallergenic dog, or seek out a breed that doesn’t shed. Some dogs require a backyard, while others are happy in small apartments. The search can be exhausting!
At PetBreeds, we wanted to make the process a little easier by finding the friendliest dog breeds in America. Using the latest available doggie data from Animal Planet, we created an index of four criteria that make a dog breed friendly:
  • Affectionate or Very Affectionate
  • Friendly Temperament in General
  • Friendly or Very Friendly Toward Other Pets
  • Friendly or Very Friendly Toward Strangers
We found 23 dog breeds that meet the criteria, and then turned to the American Kennel Club’s 2014 popularity data to rank the breeds. It is important to remember that all dogs are a product of their environment, and personalities will vary from dog-to-dog. This list only aims to find dogs that are most often associated with the above traits.
Without further ado, we present the 23 friendliest dogs in America, who are sure to make a wonderful new addition to your life:

Will County gets new weapon to fight child pornography: a dog | Chicago Sun-Times

The circumstances of Lucky the dog have changed dramatically from a year ago, when the whimpering pup was rescued by a stranger from the doorstep of a Conway home, surrounded by the rising flood waters of the Waccamaw River.
The 7-month-old yellow Labrador mix was clearly malnourished, scared by pellet shots – one still embedded in his head – and terrified.
Alex Scroggins spotted the puppy while running his boat down the flood-swollen street to help evacuate family members during last October’s record rain storm, and it didn’t take him long to realize that the dog, named Lucky by his previous owner, had been abandoned.

“He started wailing and whining, and looked like he was going to swim off, get swept off by the current. I couldn’t leave him,” Scroggins said.

Neal Paskvan is a full time Realtor specializing in Downers grove, Darien,WThe Dog Bark Park Inn, located in the city of Cottonwood, is not your typical bed and breakfast. And that’s because it’s in the shape of a giant beagle, lovingly known as Sweet Willy. You can stay in this humongous dog for around $100 a night. 

Oh, and in case this place wasn’t magical enough already: Sweet Willy has a puppy sidekick called Toby. You can’t sleep inside the smaller dog, though ― it’s just for show.
Owners Dennis J. Sullivan and Frances Conklin, a husband-and-wife artist duo, opened the inn back in 2003. Sullivan himself built Sweet Willy and Toby, Conklin told The Huffington Post. oodridge, Westmont and Du page county Real Estate
