Dear pet owners, beware, because unlike our usual “10 Signs Your Dog Knows You the Best”, today, after the dog community’s high demand, it’s time for you to stand in the witness box. Yes, today we’ll test how much you know about your dogs. Be ready, as an interesting puzzle awaits you.
Whether you are a pet parent, confused about which dog to buy, or simply a dog meme lover, this one is for you because solving this crossword might help you solve the crossroads of your life and identify your true soulmate.
So let’s put your knowledge to the test, and of course, you can let your paw-some fur buddies help you, only if they can.
Below are the crossword clues perfectly curated to waggle your mind like your dog waggles its tail. So start sniffing the answers faster because your dog is watching you closely!
DOWN
1. Big. Cuddly. Soft. This dude will sit on you like you’re the furniture, and you’ll thank him for it. Loyal, exactly like your fictional man, but drools like a toddler with a juice box. Call them chonky grumps with the energy of “I was told there’d be snacks.” (7)
3. This breed is basically a free furry therapist who’s ever ready to listen to your breakup sob story, even at 3 AM, unless a tennis ball rolls by. They have got those soft eyes, droopy ears, and the loyalty of a bestie who never spills tea. (8)
4. This short king has a complete “I don’t care” vibe and is a walking package of barks. (A perfect combo of fierce, fabulous, and footlong.) (7)
5. If this breed were a guy, he'd have an acoustic guitar, a man bun, and deep emotional issues. Sounds like “I would marry him, if he were a man”, does it? Maybe. It can sniff out your anxiety and your leftover sandwich from 3 rooms away. (6)
9. Fashion queen since the Disney era, this dotted diva walks like she owns the sidewalk. (You can’t spell drama without this breed's entire existence. They will surely judge you in polka dots.) (9)
ACROSS
2.These are Tik Tok and Instagram Star kids. And although this breed screams “snow aesthetic,” internally, they run on chaotic gremlin energy. They’ll howl like they have seen a ghost and then sleep like babies, relatable much? Well, they might be in front of your eyes too! (5)
6. They are fluffier than your Pinterest mood board and dramatic like they just got voted off a reality show. Give them a hairbrush and some attitude, and they’ll give you icon energy. They are probably judging your outfit right now as well. (6)
7. Imagine if a ninja and a bear had a baby. This breed’s that. Not Shishimaru from Ninja Hattori, obviously, though I would adopt him if he existed. They’re stoic, loyal, and definitely know your secrets. Their silent stare says, “I love you” and “I’ll protect you from demons.” (5)
8. They are right when they say, “don’t judge a book by its cover”, because this breed looks like a polished influencer but has the street smarts of someone who’s survived five seasons of a Netflix thriller. Sassy, curly-haired, and always smarter than you. (6)
10. Don’t judge them by their size. If “chota packet, bada dhamaka” were a creature, then that is exactly what they are. These small dogs have huge “I will fight God” energy. They're the ones barking at nothing at 3 AM like they pay rent. (9)
…….Drumroll……..
Well, I know by now most of you would have skimmed the article for answers, and I can swear the number of times you must have scrolled to prove to your dogs you guessed it right.
So, if you did, congratulations, you nailed it, and the dog community approves of you now.
But if you didn’t, well, you do love your buddy regardless, and that is all that matters.
So here is the most awaited part, the answers, which are of all the breeds that run and breathe in the main character's energy.
DOWN
1. Bulldog (7) - For them, exercise means extra fries. Period.
3. Labrador (8) - Your emotional support king.
4. Corgi (5) - Short legs, big cheeks. Perfect Combo.
5. Beagle (6) - The indie boy of dogdom.
9. Dalmatian (9) - Serving fashion since '101 Dalmatians.'
ACROSS
2. Husky (5) - Drama queen with ice-blue stare.
6. Poodle (6) - Fluff game is strong. Attitude stronger.
7. Akita (5) - Perfect partners in crime.
8. Poodle (6) - Yes, again. Because they’re iconic enough to show up twice.
10. Chihuahua (9) - Feels personally attacked by doorbells.
Well, well, that was some great and paw-some mind work. I’m sure your dog is smiling at you right now with more love and perhaps with another petition to earn an extra treat.
No matter what you guessed. At the end of the day, all that ever mattered to them was your love, and that is all that will ever matter.
