What Kind of Dog Are You?

March 30, 2005 -- -- What kind of dog are you?

Ever wonder what kind of dog you'd be? A schnauzer or a shitzu? A bichon frise or a bulldog?

The anchors of "Good Morning America" wanted an answer to that very question, so they took the "What Dog Are You" test at www.gone2thedogs.com.

"Good Morning America" mistakenly referred to the wrong Web site when discussing the "What Dog Are You?" test during this morning's broadcast. The correct site is www.gone2thedogs.com, not www.goingtothedogs.com. "Good Morning America" regrets the error.

Here are the quiz results for Robin Roberts, Chris Cuomo, Diane Sawyer, and Tony Perkins.
