Greyhound

While the Greyhound is the biggest dog on the list, it also happens to be the laziest. Retires racing greyhounds are great for seniors since they’re such couch potatoes. If you adopt one from the track, they’ll be well socialized too.

Bichon Frise

The small and fluffy Bichon Frise is a happy and affectionate dog that will make a great companion. On average, a Bichon Frise weighs between 7 and 12 lbs, making it extremely easy to handle for most people. They’re also relatively easy to train. They will need to be groomed every now and again, but otherwise, they’re low-maintenance. A moderate amount of daily exercise is normally enough to keep them healthy and happy so long as they have your companionship.
