Favorite dogs atm? Either fictional, social media or real life dogs :)
For me it’s probs our community dog Eddie, Simonsits/Isabells rescues or thehandsomebean/Ted which is my partners favorite :P
YAAAAY I GET TO TALK ABOUT DOGS!!!!!!!!
OKAY to start off with, we have my favorite dog in the entire world! This is my own dog. Her name is Cassie! :)
Cassie is a 13 year old retriever mix that I adopted from my local animal shelter when I was 6 years old. She was around a year old at the time of being adopted, and she had a twin brother in the kennel with her named Conan. I unfortunately could not get them both, but I do hope that her brother was adopted soon after by a loving family.
She's been with me for most of my life and I practically grew up with her. My sweet old girl. She actually lost her hearing at some point, but other than that, she is fairly active and capable for an elderly dog.
Here's another one of my all time favorite dogs!! Meet my therapist's dog: Louis!
He's a poodle who was previously abused by his original owners, before my therapist adopted him. Naturally, he's very scared of people, but he trusts me completely. He sits on my lap and licks my hand during my sessions. Sometimes he'll fall asleep on me while I'm stroking him and just talking about all of the problems in my life.
Earning Louis's trust was such a rewarding thing. I love that he is comfortable around me, even if he might not be that comfortable around other people.
Now for an internet dog that I love a lot!! Belle!!
Belle is one of my all time favorite internet dogs. I'm someone who has a facial deformity, so people loving dogs who ALSO have facial deformities and other disabilities is such a plus in my book. It makes me so happy.
Belle is just such a sweet girl and I love seeing videos of her.
Another internet dog I really love is Dunkin! I watch all of the videos about him on the haleyandthepets tiktok account!
He's such a funny dog, and so intelligent too. I don't know how his owner trains him to carry fake knives and guns like that, and to react so strongly to different words. Dunkin just makes me laugh so much.
Borzois in general! Borzois are my current favorite breed of dog. They're just so long and silly. I don't have any specific borzoi that I prefer, but I definitely follow a lot of borzoi accounts on instagram.
I religiously use borzoi gifs on Discord because they're so funny to me. I love that one of the borzoi's nose moving over to the side while its muzzle is being scratched.
Now here's a fictional dog that I love! Care Bears has been one of my main special interests for a long time, and Loyal Heart Dog is my absolute favorite character.
He actually doesn't have any speaking lines in any Care Bear media that I know of. Because of this, I headcanon that Loyal Heart is mute or nonverbal. In my mind, he speaks through sign language and other non-speaking gestures.
I actually have a plush of him, and it's honestly one of my favorite plushies that I own.
Rockruff is my favorite Pokemon of all time. And of course, it's based on a dog! I've loved Rockruff ever since I first laid eyes upon it. And it's even more special to me because Pokemon Sun and Moon were the first Pokemon games that I ever actually fully got into as a kid.
I also love all variations of Lycanroc, though the midday form definitely takes first place in my heart. It's a cute little wolf!
Those were just a few of my favorite dogs!! There's a ton more dogs that I like but it would genuinely take all day to name every dog that has a special place in my heart. I love all dogs so much.
