Boston Terrier

Boston Terriers are compact dogs with enormous personalities and even larger ears that move independently of their heads. They’re genuinely funny without trying, prone to snorting, reverse sneezing, and sudden bursts of zoomies through your living room at 2 a.m. Living with one means constant entertainment, occasional flatulence, and a small tuxedoed shadow that follows you everywhere because being alone is apparently not an option.
