Gotta give a shout out for Dachshunds
I love ALL dogs, but my Otto is my exceptional family member. He's so funny, running 90 mph to get Buddy, who outweighs him by 60 lbs. Love my doxie mix too, Dolly, a coonhound mixed with a dachshund, but man, does that dog BARK!
Otto will lay his little head on my heart or sit pearched on my hip or sit up on his ample butt waiting for me to hold him. He's a big dog in a little dog body, all the dogs at the park respect his authority. There's no way you could watch a dachshund play and not laugh (with them, not at them)
3 out of my 5 dawgs are dachshund oriented.
