family dog
Kids' furry companion
A family dog is a dog kept as a household pet rather than for work, hunting, or show.
The term emphasizes the dog's role as a companion shared among family members, especially children: We're looking for a good family dog.
Certain breeds are considered better family dogs than others based on temperament and patience with kids.
