When someone talks about a huge creature that can easily weigh 200 pounds, grows to around 32 inches tall while standing on all fours, and has been bred explicitly for hunting, it’s easy to imagine a terrifying beast that they’d rather never encounter face to face. Fortunately, in this case, such an assumption couldn’t be more wrong.

Dubbed the “Gentle Giant,” the animal described above is the wonderfully adorable Great Dane, who, despite its intimidating appearance, is one of the goofiest fur balls you’ll ever meet. These days, instead of hunting, this dog can more often be found lazing on a couch with humans, which often results in a ton of hilarious pics that we then bring to you. Scroll down to see them!

A 135lbs Great Dane and a 10lbs ginger kitty = true love! Wish I was the proud owner of these two bffs, but these cuties belong to my older sister. I just get the honor of witnessing their heart melting cuddle sessions for the next few days. I hope they bring some smiles to you all, especially if you are finding yourself in need of some warmth.

I Think I Have A “Petite” Girl. How Big Are Your Danes?

I Think I Have A “Petite” Girl. How Big Are Your Danes?

Hey guys! I would love to know how big (or small) your pups are! This is my goofy girl, Ivy?. She is 16 months old. At her last vet visit she only weighed 104lb, but her weight is perfect for her frame currently. I’m thinking she just might be on the “tiny” side. What do you guys think?
