If the Characters in Downton Abbey Were Portrayed by Dogs

Dogster takes a look at the cast of 'Downton Abbey' doggie style:

Lady Mary Crawley: Poodle 

Easily bored; loves to make mischief; haughty demeanor earned through centuries of breeding and/or inbreeding.

Cousin Matthew Crawley: Golden Retriever

Loyal, adorable, and totally milquetoast.



O'Brien, the Countess's maid: Pumi



Reserved, intelligent, protective, and not easy to socialize, Pumis make excellent spinsters.

Thomas the Footman: Doberman Pinscher



From Wikipedia: "Although they are considered to be working dogs, Doberman Pinschers are often stereotyped as being ferocious and aggressive." Yep. Thomas is a *itch, but he really just wants to be an entrepreneur! Misunderstood, handsome, and somewhat sinister in appearance even when he's just trying to be himself. 



The Dowager Countess of Grantham: Persian Cat 

(yup, no dog could possibly be as haughty as her) 

 The ultimate regulator, the DC doesn't give a crap about what you think or want, and will get her way every time.
