Lucario because it's pretty much the pokemon equivalent of a holy paladin. They value justice, are brave (as proven by them having 2 unflinching abilities), their name literally means "one of light/luminarity".
They are also intelligent, have highly powerful telepathic and empathic abilities and could pretty much create a good civilization if the pokemon universe wasn't the fucked up cesspool it is where all pokemon are seen and even behave as a gestalt of slaves/animals for some reason when some are clearly superior to others and logically shouldn't be the case. It's the ideal I care about so whatever.
They clearly are based on canine morphology, but they are as far removed from it as possible similarly to how overwhelmingly superior humans are to primates and I find their design appealing overall.
Obviously people would hate them for them being furbait or whatever and I've also seen some hate them because they don't have a proper muzzle like some disgusting cur.
Inb4 proud of its power pasta.
