Boardwalk Empire? How about Dog walk Empire!

On Sunday night one of my favorite TV shows returns on HBO: "Boardwalk Empire."

This show is deep and intriguing and historical and sexy. Not for children. May not be for pets either.

So I thought we could have a little fun. If this show was cast with dogs instead of humans, which dogs would be good for which characters?

I will start:

Basset hound as Nucky Thompson.
Main character Nucky Thompson is descending further and further into darkness. But he also has this side of good in him that helps him walk back. It's obvious he has been hurt a lot by the past, and he is trying to move on but he can't. Actor Steve Buscemi's eyes tell a lot of that, and when I look at those eyes, I see basset hound.

Pit bull as Richard Harrow.
Richard Harrow is a World War I veteran with a horrible injury. He's quiet, gentle, and fiercely loyal. And he is often misunderstood because of his injury. That says pit bull to me completely.

Now it's your turn! Have you seen the show? Pick a character and choose a dog breed for that character! Post them below in the comments section!

"Boardwalk Empire" returns Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO.
