If you own a dog, you know that they’re basically just like children. They like to sit on our laps, sleep with their favorite toys, and are happy to give us hugs and kisses. And they do these things no matter what age or size they are. St. Bernards and Great Danes might look frightening at first but they’re just mama’s boys and girls deep inside.
If you still don’t have a dog, this Bright Side compilation of large yet adorable canines may make you want to get one.

Also my wife:”
3. “Loves to be carried by Dada!”
4. Dogs never become big boys, really.
5. Big dogs need big toys.
6. “What I wake up to”
7. This Great Dane that loves hugs
