Cute Dog Breeds | Adorable Dogs | World's Cutest Dogs

A dog is a man’s best friend. The term is so common, it’s almost a cliché. However, the fact remains the same as dogs are the best pets, most faithful animals and the bond a human shares with his/her dog is unparalleled. For the number of years a dog lives with its foster family, it remains cherished and as much as a family member. There are numerous examples of incredible dog-master bonds. For families that brought a dog as a small puppy and it grew into a full sized barker, this bond is more pronounced. A dog connects with the smallest member of the family, playing fetch, to the eldest one, simply sitting at their feet. The ways in which dogs express themselves is in itself a story and a sight to behold.
