I haven't had beans in awhile I forgot how good they are.

For me, it’s probably the Chinese Crested. I know every breed has its fans and there’s nothing wrong with them, but they’re just one of those dogs where I look at them and think, “I genuinely don’t get it.” Their appearance is so different from what I normally picture when I think of a dog, and I’ve never really understood the appeal. I’d be interested to hear what people who own one actually love about them.

What dog breed do you just not understand?

I’ve always liked German Shepherds because they just seem like such loyal and intelligent dogs. I like how they look, but honestly it’s more their personality that makes me like them. They seem really alert and confident, but they can also be really affectionate with their owners. I also like that they’re active and seem like the type of dog that would always want to be involved in whatever you’re doing.

What dog breed is your fav?

For me, it has to be a Beagle. They can be incredibly friendly and affectionate, but if they catch an interesting smell, it can suddenly become the most important thing in the world.

You could call their name several times and they might just carry on investigating like they didn’t hear you at all. I think that independent streak is hilarious, even if it would probably test your patience sometimes.

Which dog breed do you think is most likely to completely ignore you when you call them?

I kinda feel like Cocker Spaniels would be a good example. They can be really affectionate and often want to be involved in whatever their owner is doing, so I can imagine them getting a bit jealous if someone else suddenly gets all the attention.

You could be sitting with another dog or giving someone else attention, and they’d probably find a way to squeeze themselves into the situation. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but their need to be included can be pretty funny.

Which dog breed do you think gets jealous the most?

For me, I’d say a Labrador. Even when they’re fully grown, they can still have that playful, goofy energy that makes them seem like a giant puppy. They can get ridiculously excited about toys, walks, food or even something as simple as someone coming home.

I also think Labradors have a funny way of getting themselves into situations because they’re so curious and enthusiastic about everything.

Which dog breed do you think stays puppy-like for the longest?

I feel like a German Shepherd would be the obvious choice. They’re alert, intelligent and usually very aware of what’s happening around them, so I can imagine feeling pretty safe with one around.

The funny part is that I’d probably spend more time worrying about them stealing my food or demanding attention than actually needing protection. They’d basically be my serious-looking bodyguard who secretly just wants treats.

Which dog breed would you choose as your personal bodyguard?

I feel like Beagles would be absolutely terrible at keeping secrets. They have such expressive faces that I swear you’d know immediately if they had done something. Imagine telling a Beagle, “Don’t tell anyone I ate the last biscuit,” and five minutes later they’re sitting beside the person who owns the biscuits, staring at them like they’re trying to confess.

Their face would give everything away.

Which dog breed do you think would be the worst at keeping a secret?

I honestly think some breeds can get away with absolutely anything just because they have a cute face. They can steal food, take your favourite spot on the sofa, ignore you when you call them, or make a complete mess, and somehow you end up laughing instead of being annoyed.

The funniest part is when they seem to know they’ve done something wrong but still look completely innocent.

Do you think certain dog breeds get away with more because they’re just too cute?

​

There are some foods that smell absolutely incredible and make you think they’re going to taste even better, but then the first bite is just disappointing.

For me, it’s sometimes popcorn at the cinema. The smell hits you as soon as you walk in and makes you want some immediately, but then you get it and realise it doesn’t always taste as good as it smelled. Maybe I’ve just had bad popcorn.

What food smells amazing but never quite lives up to it when you actually eat it?

​

I swear some dog breeds can turn the smallest thing into a full-blown event. You drop something on the floor, move their favourite toy, tell them it’s time to stop begging for food, and suddenly they’re looking at you like you’ve personally betrayed them.

Some dogs seem to have an entire acting career going on whenever they don’t get their way.

Which dog breed do you think has the most dramatic reactions, and what have you seen them do?

Mine has this thing where every night they’ll walk around the house carrying one random sock like it’s some priceless family heirloom. They don’t even chew it. They just carry it around, stare at me, and eventually leave it in the middle of the floor.

I’ve stopped asking questions at this point. What weird habit does your dog have?

I feel like people who love pizza are on another level. You can insult almost any topping and someone will immediately defend it like their life depends on it.

What food do you think has the most loyal fanbase?
