A few dogs will just love you… others, however, will want to be around you non-stop. If your ideal dog is the aforementioned, who trails you from the kitchen to the loo, enters your lap regardless of his/her size, and portrays that five minutes apart was a great emotional time, then you must be dreaming of a real velcro dog. In case you are on a hunt for a canine variety that will never leave your side, grant you occasional hugs, and be your admirer forever, then these 10 breeds are meant to be the ones for you!

Chihuahua
The ultimate velcro dog in a teacup package, Chihuahuas imprint hard on their favorite person and want to be with you constantly. Burrowing under blankets with you, sitting on your shoulder, or just staring adoringly, they’re happiest when they’re basically an extension of you.
