There are SO MANY breeds that are small, don’t shed and are hypoallergenic that your partner or mother can’t say no!
Dogs are great for mental health, especially since we’re stuck inside at the moment, but remember they’re a responsibility!
They’re best friends for life and you have to look after them, so still carefully consider whether it is the right choice – and always check out the animal shelter to see if your new best friend is waiting there for you.
