If you are fortunate enough to have a dog in your life, it's statistically the most likely, if you are an American, that your dog is a Labrador. This intelligent, loyal, handsome breed is the most popular dog in America, and deservedly so, as it is a good balance of traits. This also means that this is the breed of dog that the highest number of people would like to have as a guardian angel, a role that it would, no doubt, be absolutely delighted to fulfill.
