Types of Dogs: All Breeds From A-Z
Cecil The Dog Eats $4,000 In Cash
STORY: Clayton Law, one of the owners of Cecil the dog, said he had taken the money out of the bank to complete a backyard renovation project and left it on a kitchen countertop.
When he returned, he found his pet standing over a pile of banknotes that had been torn apart.
Clayton had the messy task of cleaning the cash of vomit and poop after it was excreted from Cecil.
Co-owner Carrie Law said their bank said they would replace banknotes that had most of the serial number intact.
Clayton and Carrie say it was out of character for Cecil, who had never done anything like this, and added they have retrieved most of the money.
You Can't Make This Stuff Up: Poll Results Reveal Top Dog Breed In Delaware And The Country
Dog lovers everywhere have their favorites, but pinpointing the most beloved dog breed? It's a tail-wagging journey that depends on whom you ask and where you look. From state preferences to national surveys, America's dog breed preferences are as diverse as our furry companions themselves, varying by state, year and survey methodology.
From the rise of trendy breeds to the enduring love of a rescue dog, our furry friends' popularity remains a delightful, ever-changing mosaic.
Delaware's doggie loveIn 2021, Rover.Com's survey crowned the Labrador retriever as the most popular pooch in Delaware. Acknowledging the variety of preferences among Delaware dog lovers, other breeds on the list were the Akita, German shepherd, golden retriever and poodle.
This year, the website again found that the Labrador remains the top dog breed in every state, except for Nevada where the Chihuahua heads the pack. However, favorites can change like the seasons. Sniffing out the top trending dog breeds by state, Rover.Com discovered the poodle is on the rise, capturing the fancy of Delaware dog enthusiasts over the state's former affinity, the Jack Russell terrier.
This shift demonstrates how preferences can evolve within a state and among users on Rover.Com.
Trendsetting tails in DelawareAnalyzing Google Trends from the last 12 months, Casino.Com came up with America's top three favorite dog breeds. The study focused on what each state's favorite dog breed is out of the 48 most popular breeds, excluding crossbreeds.
Delaware's preferences align with the top five most searched dog breeds on Google Trends over the past 12 months:
1. Terrier
2. Chow Chow
3. Poodle
4. Jack Russell
5. Rottweiler
A national paw-ferenceZooming out to the national level, surveys by Forbes found some intriguing results. Surveying 10,000 dog owners with pet insurance, "no breed in particular" secured the top spot as America's favorite dog breed with 13% of the tally results. However, when Americans had to choose a breed, the Australian shepherd ranked supreme, winning the popular vote with 7.2%, edging out the German shepherd, which held 7.1% of the vote.
The poll revealed another interesting finding about America's preference: size matters. Six of the top choices are medium to large-sized dogs — the Australian shepherd, German shepherd, Labrador retriever, Bernese mountain dog, golden retriever and boxers. Conversely, three of the least-favored breeds are small dogs, including the Havanese, the Pembroke Welsh corgis and miniature schnauzers, which typically stand no taller than 14 inches.
Polls determining a 'favorite" are as diverse as dog breeds. Currently, poodles are rising in trends in Delaware but last year, the state designated the "rescue dog" as its official state dog. This is Daisy a 12-year-old poodle mix up for adoption.
A dog's second chance: Delaware state dogMarking a poignant shift in the state's canine representation, this past May, Delaware designated the "rescue dog" as its official state dog replacing the golden retriever. This recognition is not only heartwarming but also symbolizes the importance of adoption and honors the faithful companionship of dogs.
Whether your heart belongs to a loyal Labrador, a playful poodle or a rescue with a heartwarming story, one thing remains certain — our love for dogs is boundless, regardless of breed.

Dog Eats $4K Stack Of Cash – And Getting It Back Wasn't Pretty
A Pennsylvania dog is rolling in it, but not in the way you may be thinking.
According to his owners, Cecil, a 7-year-old goldendoodle, was a bit hungry and ate $4,000 in cash.
Carrie and Clayton Law said they recently placed an envelope with the cash on their kitchen table. They were saving it for a home improvement project in their neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
Carrie shared the funny, although crazy, story on Instagram and said, "This is Cecil. He has never done anything bad in his life... Until he ate $4,000.

The couple recovered the cash-turned-expensive appetizer, but it was easier said than done.
They had to wait...And wait for Cecil to go to the bathroom and vomit to get their cash back. They sifted through Cecil's vomit and feces to recover as much of the money as possible. And of course, it was gross and in pieces.
"It took us about three days to recover everything and then wash, dry, and tape it," Carrie said. "The puzzle process took several hours and lots of patience because we had to keep waiting for him to go to the bathroom until we could get more pieces."
Clayton Law had to clean each piece of money they found before putting it all back together. Credit: Carrie LawCarrie says Cecil is doing well now and besides getting a little sick, it didn't really faze him.
"I think he just took a nap afterward," Carrie said.
As for their money, they've gotten most of it back.
"We've been able to recover around $3,550 so far," Carrie said. "We have around $400 in totally mutilated bills. We might frame some of those," she said with a laugh.
