 - :meth:`~DataFrame.to_sql` with method parameter set to ``multi`` works with Oracle on the backend
 - :attr:`Series.attrs` / :attr:`DataFrame.attrs` now uses a deepcopy for propagating ``attrs`` (:issue:`54134`).
+- :func:`get_dummies` now returning  extension dtypes ``boolean`` or ``bool[pyarrow]`` that are compatible with the input dtype (:issue:`56273`)
 - :func:`read_csv` now supports ``on_bad_lines`` parameter with ``engine="pyarrow"``. (:issue:`54480`)
 - :func:`read_sas` returns ``datetime64`` dtypes with resolutions better matching those stored natively in SAS, and avoids returning object-dtype in cases that cannot be stored with ``datetime64[ns]`` dtype (:issue:`56127`)
 - :func:`read_spss` now returns a :class:`DataFrame` that stores the metadata in :attr:`DataFrame.attrs`. (:issue:`54264`)
