15 Best Dog Breeds For Seniors

8. Maltese

Cute, fluffy, and fits right into your lap. What is it? The Maltese! Not only does it fit in your lap, it loves spending time there. Similar to the poodle, it is easy to train, but also requires semi-regular grooming. But since they weigh only about 7-9 pounds, they are quit easy to handle, and are also the perfect size for your bag if you ever need to take them anywhere.
