Whether real-life or fictional, whether we fall for them or are fearful of them,
these dogs all have a great character and each is remarkable in its own way. Nearly
every day, whether via our hobbies (e.g. reading, watching films) or in the news,
dogs remind us to what extent they are an integral part of society and our daily
life.
