I had a black lab as a kid that was the definition of "man's best friend", until he got hit and killed by a snow plow.
The most "interesting" dog we ever owned was a wire hair fox terrier. Very strange dog. Was absolutely great with all people and was a fantastic family dog but it absolutely hated all other animals (including other dogs) and would attack any other animal upon sight. Even if the other dog was huge, this terrier would go after it. It was also the best hunter I have ever seen (not hunting dog, hunter). He hunted almost like a cat. We had a big, fenced in back yard and over the years, the dog killed birds, squirrels, rabbits and even a few skunks (unfortunately) and any other animal that happened to wander into the yard.
It also hated any type of small engine (lawn mower, weed wacker, snowblower, etc..) and would go crazy if one was running nearby. Not sure if the noise hurt his ears or what. Whenever we'd take out the lawnmower, he'd growl and grab the wheel and drag it around, even though we hadn't even started it.
