While every dog loves being with their human, there are some that really, really love to be with you. Dogs are sensitive creatures, and their desire to be near you is very strong–but for some, it’s more than that. Like a dog that clings to your side, ready to be your pal wherever you go? Then one of these breeds might be just the one for you!
#1 – Labrador Retriever
Labs are known for their easy going personality and attachment to their owners. They’ll go anywhere with you – until “death do you part,” and even then, we are sure they wait at the Bridge.

He’s supper clingy and so bad now he’s really old as well. Wakes me up twice a night so I come to his chair and cuddle him back to sleep. Sits on my lap always and likes rubbing his face on mine. He’s adorable but a constant presence!

I have a feeling all dog breeds are a bit clingy. But I’m on my second Dalmatian and I’ve never seen a breed more clingy. They will not let me out of their site. Follow me where ever I go.
