My granny and granddad recently got another dog to keep their old dog (Nina) company. He’s called Wes and very bouncy. He has this gang of big dogs which we like to call the thug pups. They’re all big, bouncy and babies.

This got me thinking about dog behaviour. I know that the smaller the dog, the more vicious they’re going to be. Wes is terrified of little dogs and one time on this walk this CHIHUAHUA drove the big dogs away. The funny thing is, dogs like Great Danes and German Shepherds are big dogs and they will only sniff your legs and leave you alone (mostly).

Here is a list of famous fictional dogs:
Argos from The Odyssey
Scooby-doo from Scooby-doo
Fang and Fluffy from Harry Potter
Cerberus from Greek Mythology
Snowy from Tintin
These are just a few. For the full list, click here
I will post images of Wes and Nina soon if you want to see them
I really like your creative title! I’ve learnt a lot from your blog post. Thank you.
Hi Ben thanks for the info. What dog would you recommend I buy for my family with 2 little toddlers?

I found this side and it will help you decide which dog you want. Remember to take it out on walks twice a day and feed it regularly and play with it. This site will tell you how to look after the dog you want:http://www.dogster.com/dog-breeds/
Hi Benjamin! Glad to know you love animals like I do!
