spaniels
Silky-coated hunting dogs
Spaniels are a group of dog breeds originally developed for hunting, characterized by long, silky ears and a gentle, eager temperament.
Most spaniels were bred to flush game birds from dense brush—cocker spaniels, springer spaniels, and Cavalier King Charles spaniels are among the most popular varieties.
The word can describe someone who follows another with dog-like devotion: He trailed after her like a spaniel.
