Most Loyal Dogs in The World

Dog a man's best friend is one phrase that will never be overrated. Every time I see movies like Lassie and Hachiko, they just strengthen my belief by a notch. These animals since a long time have been great companions to man. A perfect family picture looks complete when there is a family dog there. Maybe, I am exaggerating but I find all dogs to be loyal. Yet there have to be a few special names that have to mentioned, when talking about loyal dog breeds.
