31 Photos That Show the Joys of Living With Newfoundland Dogs

Newfoundland dogs originated in Canada and were used as working dogs. Because of their large strong frames, they were great both on land and in the water, and their jobs were to pull nets for fishermen and haul wood from the forest. Because they are sweet-natured and responsive, they make great family pets and it’s really not hard to see why.

Besides a precious nickname like “Newfie” and their chubby, fluffy appearance, the Bright Side team found a bunch of other great reasons that a Newfoundland should make its way into your family.

1. “I like this! Is there more?”
