Don’t forget to check out my picture collage of all of these great dogs at the end of the post!
— Liza Allen
Top-dawgs (From Best to Worst):
- “Shamus”/Teddy (Elizabeth & Walton Moseley): Sorry Raptors, Teddy tops the cake! This dog’s nonchalant yet omniscient presence is unforgettable.
- Baker (Hannah O): Baker has experienced many close encounters with death. Plain and simple, this pup is a survivor—and a cute one at that!
- Gilly (Trap Puckette): Formally known as Gaillard, this pupper is as handsome as he is adventurous! He loves boat days, humping, and demolishing anything given to him!
- Sadie (Liza Allen): Though I may be biased, Sadie is one of the best dogs ’round. Her sweet yet fun-loving personality makes her the perfect companion.
- Riley (Mason Bishop): Riley may no longer be with us, I felt it was necessary to include him. His relaxed presence was undeniably therapeutic!
- Buster (Carrie Metts): While he may smell like urine, his heart is as pure as gold. Buster is a timeless dog that upholds the phrase “Man’s Best Friend”.
- Sully & Lilly (Will Marshall): Sully and Lilly are an unparalled duo. Sully’s calm nature mixed with Lilly’s fun-loving energy is the perfect doggy combo!
- Ginger (Samuel Maher): Ginger is the ultimate chill pup. She’s your go-to-gal if you’re looking for a lackadaisical sidekick!
- Crosby (Baxter Barrett): Crosby may be a little rambunctious and crazy-eyed, but he’s a great source of entertainment and love!
- “Lammy”/Sammy (Josh Cumins): Lammy, mistakenly known as “Lenny” to me, is perfect for just hanging out and relaxin’. What’s more, he’s great at jumping and backflips!
Underdogs (From Best to Worst):
- Atlas (Bryan Bracy): There’s no doubt Atlas has good intentions like all the other German Shepherds out there. Alas, that doesn’t change the fact that he is a nibbler and a jumper with a terror-inducing bark.
- Poe (Lauren Yates): There are not many things in this world that are truly impossible, but walking into the Yates household without Poe barking for five minutes is one of them.
- Bandit (Trap Puckette): Bandit grew up in a jail—and darn it, it’s obvious. He’s not all bad, though; the prisoners taught him some neat tricks. Perhaps Bandit is just shed in a bad light in comparison to Gilly.
- Cleo (Greta Waits): Don’t go to the Waits household unless you wish to be relentlessly clawed by the bloodthirsty Cleo. I must admit, however, she is adorable!
- Sam (Elly Durante): Just…terrifying.
