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.
