No. 6 – The Beagle

Who doesn’t love Beagles? They’re loyal companions, excellent watchdogs, and can be good hunting dogs, if you’re interested in that kind of thing. Besides, Snoopy is one of their number, and they’re just so doggone photogenic!

No. 5 – The Bulldog

Bulldogs are one of the classic school mascots, often depicted as fierce due to their origins as bullfighters, but they’re generally good-natured and get along well with children and other dogs.
