I’ve seen lots of top ten lists in my lifetime, but this one is certainly the most fun so far.  If you are or have got a guy in your life that’s looking for a pet, they just might get some use out of this top 10 manliest pets list from Spike.com.  You’d be surprised what sorts of pets are on this list too…some of which I didn’t think would be quite so manly? 

Please read these with a grain of salt and a sense of humor…It is originally from Spike after all.

10. Pigs - Here is a dirty, brilliant, loyal pet that a man can also turn into bacon in a pinch.

9. Monkeys are great because they’re like little, hairier, louder versions of yourself.

8. Clydesdale - These gigantic frickin’ horses are great for a few reasons…But real men have unreasonable tasks to accomplish. Need that oak tree pulled out of the ground? Whistle your trusty Clydesdale over and throw a ship rope around his neck.

7. Constrictors are a type of snake that aren’t venomous – the catch and kill their pray by wrapping their gigantic snake-bodies around it, then crushing.  

6. Scorpions are deadly, hard, industrious little mothers that are most active at night.  They are kind of like me but much less handsome. 

5. Piranha - These predatory, aggressive, flesh-eating fish have a fierce and well-deserved reputation for blood lust.  These fish swim in schools and feed in “feeding frenzies” that generally end in a bubbly, bloody cloud of underwater manliness.

4. Junkyard Dog (3-Legged) - There are plenty of manly dogs out there, any of the big ones or any of the mean ones would do (also, any dogs for hunting).  But these are the manliest pets, and the manliest dog in the world would be a junkyard dog that's missing one leg. 

3. Ostriches are mean…They use their over-muscled legs to just kick the hell out of anything in their “territory.” They bite, they’re ugly, and they’ll beat their enemies up with their head-butts and neck whips.

2. Tiger - So it’s not easy to have a pet tiger.  You need a staff veterinarian, an enclosure with 1,000 square feet that can contain the tiger, and you need the approval of your local wildlife authority and the Department of Agriculture. 

1. Human - French maid, man-servant, or just a nephew that gets you beer from the fridge when you ask.  Having a human pet is the manliest thing a man can have and that’s that.
