It was national dog day Monday, and I loved to see all of the cute pet pics people were posting in recognition of the occasion. As pictured, my fiancée and I caught an adorable moment with Hank and his brand new bone. It was a special day, after all, and he's a good boy; so we busted it out. He really loves that bacon and cheese stuffed thing! 

Hank is a Bloodhound who's about half a year old, and in my twenty-four years he's the only one of that breed I've personally known. That got me thinking... where does my hound dog fall on the list of the most popular dogs in the U.S.? 

For 2023, according to the AKC, that's 53rd place. This checks out. 

How about your dog? What's the most popular type? And, what's the least popular?
