Since before the dawn of human civilization, the dog has walked with man on his journey.
He’s been a coworker, he’s been a friend, and he’s been family.
Today, his role tends to be more of the latter and while all breeds of dogs are friendly
with socialization, these breeds excel at being loving.
Let’s get to know them.
Hi, I’m Leroy and I’m Rosie and this is Animal Facts.
Let’s get started.

English Bulldog
The English Bulldog is agreeable and kind, resolute and courageous with a dignified demeanor.
In other words, the English Bulldog is one of the most friendly of all breeds, despite
his gloomy mug.
Bulldog puppies are frisky, but an adult is quiet and rather composed, spending much of
the day snoring on the sofa if given his choice.
But he definitely needs some exercise to stay fit.
He may be friendly with strangers, or he may stand politely reserved.
He does have a bit of a stubborn streak, though.
His tenacity and resolve mean that it's sometimes difficult to change his mind once he decides
to do something, which also landed him on our Naughtiest Dogs list.

Beagle
This next dog doesn’t spend nearly as much time on the couch.
A happy-go-lucky dog that naturally enjoys the company of other dogs and humans, the
Beagle has lived in human families for hundreds of years and makes a wonderful family pet.
The Beagle is known for his lighthearted personality and following his nose, which can lead him
to a bit of mischief and maybe even meet new friends.
But his wanderlust can lead him places he should not be, so outside, he must not be
left unattended.
One more thing.....
the Beagle is a chowhound, so keep your trash cans out of reach and never set your plate
of food down where he can get to it.
8.
Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is a compact little dog known for his beautiful double coat and friendly
personality.
Carrying himself with a proud bearing, yet possessing a happy, sweet-natured temperament,
the Shih Tzu is less demanding and less yappy than most other toy breeds.
While this dog is a bit high maintenance and will require regular grooming, he doesn’t
require much more exercise than the play he gets running around your living room.
The Shih Tzu doesn't tend to get into much trouble, and even when his stubborn streak
gets the best of him, he's easy to forgive.
7.
Boxer
If you enjoy larger dogs, the Boxer is a great choice as far as friendly breeds go.
He might look intimidating, but he’s more likely to give you kisses than anything!
He’s extremely friendly and loves just about everyone that’s willing to pet or play with
him.
The Boxer reacts to strangers with a joyous greeting accompanied by enthusiastic jumping
and tail-stump wiggling.
The Boxer is fine with other family pets, including the family cat.
He’s known to be quite fond of children.

Newfoundland
Wait, you said you wanted a big dog?
This one can definitely fill an empty spot in your heart.
The kindly Newfoundland is good-natured with everyone, especially children, though they
should be as well-behaved as he is.
He is very sociable and needs more companionship than many other breeds.
Newfoundlands don't do well when left alone for long periods.
He does need a lot of exercise, and he loves to romp and pulling a cart or carrying a backpack
gives him a purpose in life.
And he loves to swim.
5.
Boston Terrier
Nicknamed “the American Gentleman” because of his tuxedo-like coloring, gentle disposition,
intelligence and suitability as a house pet, the Boston Terrier was bred as a companion
dog.
He’s easy to train and will happily remain at his owner’s side throughout the day.
In general, the Boston Terrier is an altogether dapper and charming little dog.
Playing games and chasing balls are two of his passions.
Because he was bred to be a pet, this breed is often a great choice for first-time dog
owners.
