The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a small breed of dog of Spaniel type, considered one of the toy dog breeds. It is one of the most popular breeds in the United Kingdom and has become more popular in the United States over the last ten years. It is a smaller breed of spaniel, and adults are often the same size as adolescent dogs of other spaniel breeds. It has a silky coat and commonly an undocked tail. Four colours (Blenheim, Tricolour, Black and Tan, and Ruby) are recognized by the breed standard. It is a friendly, affectionate breed which is good with both children and other animals.
The Cavalier shares the same history as the smaller King Charles Spaniel until the 1920s, at which time American breeders attempted to recreate a spaniel resembling Charles II’s King Charles Spaniel of the Restoration. The King Charles had changed drastically in the late 1600s following interbreeding with the Pug, and the Cavalier is seen as a return to the type of spaniel before that interbreeding.
There are a few health issues that affect this particular breed, most notably mitral valve disease which over times leads to heart failure. This will appear in most Cavaliers at some point in their life and is the most common cause of death. Syringomyelia is also present which is a malformation of the skull, reducing the space available for the brain. They are also affected by ear problems which are common among spaniels of various types as well as issues such as hip dysplasia which are common across many types of dog breeds.

The Golden Retriever is a breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties.[1] As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water.[2] Their intelligence and versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs.[3] They possess a friendly, eager-to-please demeanor, and are one of the most popular family dog breeds (by registration) in the world.[4]
Pets have the ability to stimulate their caregivers, in particular the elderly, giving people someone to take care of, someone to exercise with, and someone to help them heal from a physically or psychologically troubled past.[10] Having a pet may help people achieve health goals, such as lowered blood pressure, or mental goals, such as decreased stress.[11][12][13][14][15][16] There appears to be strong evidence that having a pet can help a person lead a longer, healthier life. In a study of 92 people hospitalized for coronary ailments, within a year 11 of the 29 without pets had died, compared to only 3 of the 52 who had pets.[10] A recent study concluded that owning a pet can reduce the risk of a heart attack by 2% and that pets are better than medication in reducing blood pressure.[citation needed] Owning a pet can also prolong survival of a heart attack. [17] Dogs which are trained to be guide dogs can help people with disabilities.
