The Universe of Harry Potter

The Wizarding World

The animals from the Harry Potter series are nearly as influential&nbsp;as the wizards themselves, and have become characters we care about as much as their owners (with a few exceptions). Who didn&#39;t shed a tear when Harry lost Hedwig, wait anxiously&nbsp;to learn of Buckbeak&#39;s fate, or take sides in the Team Scabbers vs.&nbsp;Team Crookshanks debate? The relationships the characters&nbsp;have with their animals often mimic&nbsp;the feelings we have for our own pets in the Muggle world.&nbsp;

Muggle animals are a bit dull in comparison with the&nbsp;Harry Potter&nbsp;creatures, however.&nbsp;They can&#39;t guard the Sorcerer&#39;s Stone like Fluffy the three-headed dog, burst into flames and regenerate like Fawkes the phoenix, or act as the ultimate tattletale like Argus Filch&#39;s cat Mrs. Norris. Many of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/harry-potter-creatures-list/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">beasts&nbsp;in </a><a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/harry-potter-creatures-list/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">Harry Potter</a> have magical qualities that make them highly desirable pets.&nbsp;

The pets of Harry Potter are not all&nbsp;created equal. While Hedwig and Crookshanks are easy to envy, other animals - such as&nbsp;Hagrid&#39;s entire array of pets - might be more trouble than they&#39;re worth. But perhaps you&#39;re a real animal lover like Hagrid, and all creatures are cuddly in your mind.&nbsp;Whatever your animal outlook, vote up the pets you&#39;d definitely adopt from the Magical Menagerie.

These fat, adorable animals are what I would look like if I were any of these animals. These are the fattest animals on the Internet in all their obese glory. There are some fat animals whose owners obviously let them eat the vanilla part of the Neapolitan, and there are other obese animals who just don&#39;t give a crap. The fat dogs who just stare their owners down during a game of fetch until the poor bastard who threw the frisbee has to go get it while his fat dog stares at him and laughs: these are those a-hole pets.

In case you&#39;re wondering, there&#39;s no shortage of morbidly obese animals on the Internet. There are fat animal pics of everything from obese dogs, enormous cats, obese skunks, and even the odd fat bear are here in this list. Some of these fat pets you&#39;ll look at and wonder what their humans were thinking, others you&#39;re going to want to steal just so you can invite people over to gaze at your crazy fat cat.

Basically, if you don&#39;t enjoy these pictures of fat animals, you are a waste of a human being. There are fat hedgehogs, for pete&#39;s sake! Big, spiny balls of obese hedgehogs. They are the best. Now stop reading this and gaze at the fattest pets and obese animals you have ever seen. And vote for the obese corgis, fat hamsters, huge pugs, giant cats, massive wombats, and big bears you think are the coolest or cutest animals in this fat animal pictures roundup.

The best dogs for kids are not just some of the best family dogs but some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-dog-breeds/homefromhome" target="_blank">best and most popular dog breeds</a> out there. These dogs have incredible patience, are gentle with the little ones, and can help teach children about responsibility. Additionally, many claim that raising children with dogs can help improve the self esteem of the child and help them with cooperation and social skills.

While many might think that small&nbsp;dog breeds would be better with small children, the opposite is often true. Breeds like the golden retriever, labrador retriever, Irish setter, and boxer are among the top dog breeds for children. These large dogs are gentle giants and great about tolerating the tormenting of children without backlash.

Of course many smaller dogs are also great for kids. The poodle is a popular choice for family dogs as is the beagle, shih tzu, Havanese and pug. For a family living in an apartment or one that simply does not want a larger dog, these breeds are solid choices and among the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-apartment-dogs/pet-project" target="_blank">best apartment dogs</a>. On the other hand, chihuahuas or yorkies are smaller breeds that are not especially recommended for children.

When selecting a great family dog, it&#39;s important to consider a variety of factors. That&#39;s where a mixed breed or mutt can often be a great choice of the combination of dog characteristics a family might be seeking in their ideal dog. Also, as mixed breed dogs are often the first to land in a shelter, giving a rescued mutt a forever home can change your life and the life of the dog as well. Whichever breed of dog you select, it&#39;s crucial to think the decision over thoroughly before making a commitment to any dog, but this list of the best dog breeds for families will help you start the decision making process. And if you&#39;re looking for dogs that are specifically good around infants, be sure to check out our list on the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-dogs-for-babies/pet-project" target="_blank">best dogs for babies</a>.

Best Dogs For Kids, Ranked By Dog Lovers

List of favorite dog breeds, mainly gauged by the animals&#39; suitability as pets in homes and apartments. Because of thousands of years of selective breeding by humans, dogs come in a tremendous variety of sizes, shapes, colors, temperaments and behaviors. They are the only animal to have so much variation in appearance without branching into a separate species.

Though groups like the American Kennel Club make very specific designations about breeds and breed hybrids, there continue to be new breeds and breed variants developed all the time, as well as &quot;up and coming breeds&quot; not officially recognized by kennel clubs and experts. (Many dogs not purchased directly from breeders are also mixed-breeds of some kind, or have less than purebred ancestry.)

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scariest-dogs-list/ranker-science" target="_blank">Dog breeds</a> are typically divided into a few basic categories: companion dogs, guard dogs, hunting dogs, herding dogs and working dogs. The top dog breeds for every purpose are represented here. Despite the names, in contemporary America, most breeds - even hunting or herding dogs - service as companies for individuals and families.

Pick your favorite dog breeds from the list below and vote them up, and if your favorite breed or hybrid dog is not currently listed, make your own version of the list and add it there yourself!
