Maltese
One of the most suitable breeds to keep for the elderly company. The Maltese [5] are known as a “lap dog” because he is inseparable from the owner and cannot be alone. If you spend more time at home than outside and want a “son” type dog, this is a great option. He is playful, sociable, kind, and adapts to the owner’s lifestyle. It is a dog that does not get agitated, so there is no risk that the older person will be scared by unexpected jumps or that they may have to run around.
Other than that, he is very alert to noises and strange situations. The fur is easy to care for as they also do not usually lose it easily. It is a very docile, loving, and beautiful dog. Finally, its small size is also advantageous.
