I must confess: I love big mutts and I cannot lie! Don't get me wrong, all dogs are awesome and every breed is special in their own way. Mixed-breed dogs — aka "mutts" — just deserve a little extra time in the spotlight since most people don't know the advantages of them and why they're so awesome. For starters, mutts are known to be generally healthier and have less genetic diseases. Secondly, every mutt is a unique, mixed bag of awesomeness! Most mutt owners don't know all the breeds in their pup for sure and just best guessing. What they do know though, is that they are truly special and one of a kind! Check out some cute mutts that kick some major butt on Instagram!
