Curious about dog trends, native breed history, or the real science behind pet parenting? We break down the facts to help you make informed choices.

Pop culture trends can lead to surges in breed-specific purchases, but this often results in overwhelmed shelters when the novelty wears off. This graphic weighs the pros and cons of trend-based adoption.

The movie 'Superman' and his dog Krypto sparked a massive increase in 'adopt a dog' searches and adoption rates in the US. This graphic shows the powerful, positive impact that pop culture can have on animal rescue.

After the movie '777 Charlie' was released, the demand for female Labradors skyrocketed in cities like Mangalore and Bengaluru. This is a local example of how media can create a 'dog craze'.

The famous Hutch 'You & I' ad featuring Cheeka the pug in the early 2000s caused pug prices to double and triggered a massive surge in breeding. It's a classic example of pop culture's influence on breed popularity.

The 1996 '101 Dalmatians' remake led to a 300% surge in Dalmatian registrations, but shelters later saw a 30% rise in abandonments. This serves as a cautionary tale about the responsibilities of getting a dog.
