Are you loyal and lovable? Or do you tend to be more aloof and wary? Do you need constant stimulation or are you happy just hanging out on the couch?
If you were a dog, which breed would you be?
Take our quick little quiz to find out which dog breed you are the most like.
We’re gonna get analog here for a minute: Take out a paper and pen to keep track of your answers, and in the end we’ll help you tally them up.
