Dogs are the most popular household pet in the United States. According to the National Pet Owners Survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, a little over 60 percent of American households have a dog. This is an increase from 56 percent in 1988, when the survey was first conducted. For reference, 47.1 percent of households have cats.
The most popular breed of dog in the United States is the Labrador Retriever, and it has been for a whopping 27 years. German Shepherds claim the second spot, with the Golden Retriever taking third. The French Bulldog and English Bulldog round-out the top five. But even if your best friend didn't make the top five, or you don't know what his origins are, he still deserves some Insta attention.
