I don't know about you but I couldn't live without my dogs. There is something about dogs that everyone just loves. It may be that they know when their owner is sad and comforts them or that there are hundreds of kinds to choose from. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. There is a dog breed for just about anything now: hunting, service, combat, protection, companion or show.

Nothing is better than being greeted by your furry friend, or even furry child for some, after a long day at the office; whenever you had a bad day they sense it and try and cheer you up by being silly or by giving extra kisses. Nothing beats some good puppy kisses, and of course puppy breath. Dogs make the best companion animals.

Here is a list of the top ten dog breeds in the U.S. according to CBS News:

1. Labrador Retriever

The classic lab that comes in yellow, black, or brown.

2. German Shepherd

The notorious combat dog.

3. Golden Retriever

The infamous hunting dog.

4. Bulldog

The lazy smushed face dog.

5. Beagle

The hound with a keen sense of smell.

6. French Bulldog

The fashion dog that came from France.

7. Yorkshire Terrier

The purse dogs that were used to catch rats.

8. Poodle

The prestigious show dogs.

9. Rottweiler

The protective dogs.

10. Boxer

And last but certainly not least, the strong jawed working dog.

I would say that this is a pretty solid list of some great dogs. And even though your dog may not be on this list, it doesn't mean they aren't a good dog. Lets be honest, all dogs are man's best friend.
