Dogs are not just man’s best friend, they are also an integral part of many households and communities around the world. According to the American Pet Products Association, there are over 90 million dogs in the United States alone. These loyal and loving creatures come in all shapes and sizes, and each one has its […]
Some dog breeds are more than just pets—they’re true companions, devoted to their owners in ways that go beyond simple affection. These dog breeds are famous for their unwavering loyalty and deep love for their families.

A guard dog makes us feel secure and doubles as a beloved pet. I had a 120-pound Great Pyrenees and always felt safe with my big, beautiful girl.

Rottweilers are one of the best all-around and most popular dog breeds, in my eyes. They are gorgeous, they have an amazing personality, and they are great watchdogs and family pets. But did you know there are actually two versions? That’s right! There’s the American Rottweiler and the German Rottweiler, and despite their origins — […]

Let’s get certain facts out of the way: Any dog can seriously harm (including the worst) a cat. I’ve seen it with my own eyes up close and personal with breeds you would think are safe around cats. But there are some breeds, as a whole, that do better with cats than other breeds, like […]
