And we couldn't have called it...

Nothing divides the internet like a dog breed ranking, with every owner wanting to believe that theirs is the top dog.

French Bulldogs came out victorious, being the focus of 39.2 million hashtags, followed by Pugs, Chihuahuas, English Bulldogs and Labrador Retrievers.
