There’s no debate to be had: Chicagoans love dogs.
You can’t walk down the street without seeing multiple pooches being walked by their owners, and there’s a reason for that: the city is one of the most dog-friendly in the country, with hundreds of restaurants and shops where dogs are welcome.

Rover.com, a website that helps dog owners find walkers and sitters for their furry friends, analyzed data from over half a million pet owners throughout the country to determine which breeds are the most popular.
Here are Chicagoan’s favorite dog breeds:
