Dogs are (hu)man’s best friend, but friendship takes many forms. Some dogs don’t much seem to know, or care, who feeds them and walks them, falling in love with every stranger they meet. But not these breeds. The dogs on this list are loyal to their people, through and through. Here are 16 of the most loyal dog breeds, in no particular order. Note that like any breed roundup, the choices are subjective,
and certainly not exhaustive! Many more wonderful dogs could make this list, and we salute them all.Like many herding dogs, the Great Pyrenees is a loyal guardian with a protective instinct.
They’re also basically your very own Luck Dragon—perfect for the name Falkor, perhaps? This breed, and the similar Kuvasz, are majestic AF. They’re also calm, smart,
and extremely floofy. Both the Great Pyrenees and Kuvasz are great family breeds, as they are very patient. They do require plenty of early training and ongoing exercise and mental stimulation, like their sheep herding brethren.
