About This Quiz

Dogs might be our best friends, but they also have an important role in guarding our souls. You might not think that there's a dog breed looking out for you, but nothing could make more sense. Our canine friends play such an essential part in our lives that it's perfectly logical to have them guarding our very hearts.

Before we can figure out which pooch is helping to guide your life with its protection, we are going to have to get to know all about you. As we sniff around the makeup of your soul, we think you'll drop enough bones to lead us to the dog breed sitting at the helm of your being. You might consider yourself something large and in charge like a St. Bernard, but you might owe your demeanor to your inner Chinese crested dog guardian. 

Don't be afraid to bark at the moon, and to give us the answers you hear your soul's guarding yapping in your ear. After we've summed up your soul, we'll match you with the breed we think keeps you out of harm's way. Will it be the dog breed you imagine, or will you need to head back to obedience school?
