There are so many amazing types of dogs in the world, but these are some of my personal favorites and some of the best to consider for your first pup.

1. Basset Hounds

Although Basset Hounds aren't crazy popular right now, they're such sweet dogs. Basset Hounds are perfect for families with kids because they're a very affectionate breed.

They are also very friendly towards other dogs and even strangers. Basset Hounds are the perfect dog to cuddle with, as they aren't too hyper and are very calm. A Basset Hound is perfect if you're looking to adopt your first dog.

2. Labrador Retrievers

Let's be honest, Labrador retrievers are adorable. In addition to this, they are a super helpful breed and can assist to the handicapped, or work as a service dog.

They love to be around people and other dogs, and they're very smart. If you're looking for an energetic dog to play fetch with or take along while you're out for a run, Labs are the one for you.

Beagles

Beagles are the perfect size dog for anyone and everyone. Not too big, not too small, and the perfect companion. Beagles are very fun loving and get along well with just about anyone. They are one of the friendliest dog breeds out there, which makes them the most precious pet.

4. Boxers

Boxers are very protective dogs and will take care of you no matter what. They're incredibly smart and active. Boxers are very playful and will be your best friend.

5. Cockapoos

From their cute smiles to their sweet eyes, you're bound to love Cockapoos. They are extremely people-oriented, and are easy to train. They're big forgivers and will love you unconditionally. They are great dogs for a person with a mental illness, because they will always be by your side. They love to sit on people's laps and be petted, which makes them the perfect therapy dog.

6. Corgis

Corgis love to be around people, and are very sweet. Although they shed a lot, they're the perfect friend. Just make sure you have a lint roller on you...at all times.

If you own one of these breeds, consider yourself lucky and make sure to give them unconditional love every single day.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
