Funny Dog

1. We've always known it, but now it has been scientifically proven that a dog is a man's best friend. Read it and weep cats, because according to a report earlier this year from the American Heart Association, dogs lower humans' blood pressure, they provide their owners with the much needed exercise to fight heart disease, they decrease stress and make humans live longer, fuller, woofier lives. They also retrieve sticks and look good in miniature Batman outfits, but that's not important right now. What is important is that every human needs a dog, so which breed is the most fun to share your life with.
2. The weeny dog may look like a sausage, but they're still a manly hound (honest). Originally bred to wriggle down holes and murder badgers, these German cuties are hugely energetic, noisy and often utterly bonkers (AKA huge fun).
3. Traditionally the bravest dog breed, they'd take a bullet for you. Owning one makes you feel like Winston Churchill plus they're comically lazy. If you don't fancy a walk, chances are your bulldog is more than happy just to hang out on the sofa instead. Especially if there are snacks involved.
4. The breed that you may have seen on Modern Family or under the arm of Zach Galifianakis in the movie Due Date. So ridiculously cute it'll be impossible to go to the park without attractive women coming over for a stroke and a natter. Woof!
5. As big as a boat, this dog has literally been bred to save your life if you've fallen and can't get up. Traditionally viewed as hanging out in The Alps with a small cask of brandy strapped to his collar, the St Bernard is a true don. On the downside they do drool a lot.
6.This Hungarian sheepdog resembles a mop (you may have seen one on the cover of the classic Beck album Odelay). Still this dreadlocked canine is a calm and steady companion that'll be incredibly friendly to you and your family, but suitably intolerant of trespassers and bullies.
7. Essentially a horse who hates postmen. Even as a puppy they're bigger than some cars. However, despite his size Scooby Doo is incredibly friendly, and doesn’t even need that much exercise. Sadly, they die young.
8. A ridiculously brave and brilliant beast. It looks like a baby lamb, yet is fast enough to outpace a horse. They're friendly chaps but somehow also so ridiculously stubborn 'they would rather die than succumb in any situation'. Traditionally it is a favourite choice of Geordies.
9. These lolloping creatures are known to be the most stupid breed of pedigree dog. Their daftness makes them somewhat irresistible, they're utter clowns who like to goof around.
10. There is something very special about a dirty ol' mutt. Bizarrely they're usually the most the most healthy and rounded type of dog too. Pedigrees have become what they are through centuries of inbreeding. Mongrels have the strongest genes and waggiest tails.
