Tomorrow (April 11) marks National Pet Day, a day that celebrates the joy that pets bring into people’s lives and aims to encourage people to help reduce the number of animals in shelters.
Ahead of the celebrations, online gambling company Betway carried out a study to find out the most popular dog breeds across the UK.
They used Brandwatch, a social listening tool, to analyse the total number of monthly online mentions of some of the nation’s favourite dog breeds over the past year.
