What if States were Dogs?

What if states were dogs? Let’s see if the most popular dog breed matches with the vibe of each state.

Starting with California and its fave the Bernese Mountain Dog—big, fluffy, and kinda bougie. These dogs are friendly and chill, perfectly matching California’s laid-back, but sometimes showy vibe. I mean, Hollywood anyone?

Next, Illinois has a thing for Bulldogs. Bulldogs are sturdy, persistent, and well, a bit stubborn. Sounds like Chicago’s reputation for resilience and the infamous “Chicago tough” attitude. These dogs are lovable but aren’t afraid to stand their ground, just like Illinoians?

Lastly, Alabama adores the Australian Shepherd. These dogs are known for their agility and strong work ethic—traits they share with the hardworking folks of Alabama. With their loyalty and energy, they capture the state’s tenacious spirit to a T.
