If you are anything like me the best part of coming home at the end of the day is being greeted by a happy puppy. And yes, I refer to them all as puppies whether they are 8 weeks or 8 years old and no matter their size!

Here are 5 Christian artists who love dogs just as much as you and me:

1. Joel Smallbone

Joel Smallbone of for KING & COUNTRY has a best friend in Meriweather, the Great Dane! Just like anyone who loves animals, Joel has said that he often sees God’s love through this sweet and beautiful animal.

And when you have a dog that’s over 100 pounds plus a kitty cat AND a wife, that doesn’t leave much room on the couch 😅

2. Mandisa

Kiya, the Havanese, and Mandisa are a package deal and rarely will you see one without the other! Kiya is not only Mandisa’s little pride and joy but also an Instagram celebrity. You can follow this sweet pup at @kiyathehavi.

3. Matthew West

Nick is less like a dog and more like a son to the West family. He joined the family on Christmas in 2016 and their lives have been fur-ever changed. Nick also happens to be an extremely talented baker! 🐶👨‍🍳

4. Natalie Grant

The story goes it took A LOT of convincing from Natalie and Bernie’s 3 daughters to add this tiny guy to the family, now Natalie is head over heels in love with her pup, Benji, and they wouldn’t have it any other way! Benji Baker is a Golden Retriever, Schnauzer, and Poodle all mixed together which apparently equals a real life teddy bear!

5. Jordan Feliz

The Feliz fam grew by one in October 2020 when they added this fluffy addition. Hogan, a.k.a. Hoagie Bear is a Newfoundland and could grow up to 150 lbs! Jordan, his wife Jamie, and their two kids were so excited to add Hogan to the family.
