Seeing our pups grow from tiny babies into full-grown adults is one of the best parts of being a dog owner. However, some of these adorable pets don’t seem to acknowledge how big they’ve become and still act like small puppies. That is completely fine with us, by the way.
Here at Bright Side, we believe all dogs are lap dogs and chose some of the sweetest pics of these little monsters being clueless about their size.
1. This sweetie who wants to ride in the toddler’s seat
2. Meet Bailey, the 130-lb lap dog!
3. “Look how big Maynard already was just short of turning 3 years old.”
4. This dog can barely fit in its owner’s lap, but who cares?
5. This 80-lb Malamute who still loves being held
6. This huge Irish Wolfhound who makes for a great bed buddy
7. He might be just a little big for piggyback rides...
8. This dog is seriously giant but would still like to be cuddled.

21. This dog is named Cupcake and it really is a perfect fit.
22. Rufus, the 120-lb lap dog
