DWTS Season 34 has been buzzing all over the internet as the celebrity partners were revealed this week, and we couldn’t resist asking ourselves: Which Houston Bark Park pups capture the energy, style, and personality of this year’s DWTS pros?Ā From social butterflies to herding leaders, we matched each pro with a dog that would dominate both the dance floor and the dog park. Get ready for tails, twirls, and lots of laughs!
