Bangalore: A dog is truly a man’s best friend but is every dog a child’s best friend? Not all dogs are cute and cuddly. Some are downright ferocious and aggressive. It is ill-advised to pick any breed of dog one wishes as a pet, especially if one has young kids or children at home. Some dogs are well-adapted to be around children and genuinely enjoy their company. Here are some adorable canines, which make lovely and safe pets for children:

1) Beagle –

Beagles are a delight to be around. They are nice, have a pleasant disposition and are hygiene-conscious. These are devoted and faithful companions and love playing with children. These tykes make sure that kids get their daily dose of exercise too but in a fun manner. These dogs are reliable and dependable and can be left with young kids without any worry. These canines are hassle-free when it comes to taking care of them. They also are quite friendly with the members of their own kind. Their general friendly demeanor and mellow nature make them a hit with kids and also the entire family. Also, these sweet dogs are nothing like the Beagle Boys.

2) Border Collie -

Border Collies are just as good and dependable like their TV cousin, Lassie. These are loyal dogs and love the company of kids. They are focused, energetic and responsible. Though these canines are mostly used by farmers for herding their live-stock, their popularity as pets is steadily increasing. These high on energy and stamina dogs might prove to be handful at times but they make sure that kids are running and jumping along with them. Collies also love the companionship of other dogs. These dogs need to be cared for a bit more because of their lustrous coat but are worth very second spent on them.
