Choosing a dog takes care and knowledge to ensure you get the best pet for your family and the best family for your pet. In other words, both parties have to be happy with each other.
Dog breeds each have their own traits and personalities and it’s important they align with your own family. St. Louis-based artist Grace Gogarty has created an illustrated guide to dog breeds and the descriptions are simply hilarious. According to Bored Panda, Gogarty has worked at a doggy daycare and has experienced caring for each of these breeds first hand.
