The kindest dog breeds, according to scientists (16 photos)

We recently had a TOP dedicated to the most aggressive dog breeds. The post caused some confusion among dog lovers. Like, how can these cute “bass” bite someone. Let us note once again that the discussion was specifically about the genetic tendency and possible potential of dogs for aggressive behavior. And there are dogs that are such sweethearts that the chance of an unkind “bite” is extremely minimal. There are breeds in which good nature is an innate trait. But, of course, even such good-natured people also need education. Let's look at the following study by scientists from the University of Helsinki, who talked about dogs that get along best with humans.
