A cohort known as the "dogs" of the Dow Jones Industrial Average is a changing list of stocks with the highest dividend yield at the end of each year.
For those who subscribed to the dogs theory, there's largely been upside — with 7 of the 9 stocks beating the Dow.
These stats are current as of Monday afternoon: Verizon runs the dog house with the highest current dividend yield at 6.6%.
The stock also has a current dividend yield of 3.4%.
While Goldman Sachs has seen the best year-to-date performance, the bank has the lowest current dividend yield on the list at just 2.4%.
