A little puppy turns into a big dog in the blink of an eye. As it grows, so does its love for hugs, cuddles, and kisses. As a result, it always acts like a “lap dog”. This way, a dog feels protected from all sides and only sees what’s in front of them. It knows you have its back, so it frees its mind, feels happy and nothing can surprise it.
Bright Side found 28 adorable photos of impressively big dogs showing the whole world that nothing can stop them from climbing to the safest place in the world: their owners lap.
28. “This is the way he greeted me today:”
27. “Lady, may I have this dance?”
