Living with a Great Dane requires a lot of muscle work. The reason why we’re saying that is because these giant pooches have no idea how big they are. They’re convinced that they’re just as small as the average pup, and they would always insist on being carried by their humans.
It’s always difficult to say no whenever they asked to be carried because their puppy dog eyes are challenging to resist. These floppy-eared pups are charming, social, and friendly, which is what makes them all the more lovable. In fact, they’re among the top picks whenever people plan on welcoming dogs into their homes.
These pups can grow up to a whopping 32 inches tall. Their weight can reach up to 175 pounds, which explains why we talked about muscle work earlier. They’re huge; that’s why it’s funny that they have no idea how big they actually are.
Proof of life
Some months ago, owners of Great Danes shared photos showing how clueless about their size these giants are. It didn’t take days for the threat to go viral because, as it turns out, there are lots of Great Dane owners out there! They also agree that being fur parents to this breed means going on weight lifting sessions every now and then.
Some of the photos showed Great Danes insisting on being carried by their humans. There were also those that featured them playing with their canine friends, who are approximately five times smaller than them. A huge chunk of the photos on the thread showed these dogs’ hilarious attempts at squeezing themselves in chairs that are too small for their size.
The thread earned a multitude of reactions from everyone online. Some were surprised at how big the Great Danes are. There were also those who couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that these giants have no idea that they’re not the small pups they think they are.
