If Chihuahuas have the big dog syndrome, then Great Danes must have the small dog syndrome.
All Great Danes are the same: completely unaware of their size!
Declared as one of the gentle giants, Great Danes are also some of the kindest dogs in the world. They’re loyal, docile, and above all, sweet and cuddly.
A Great Dane will try to squeeze into your lap, sit next to you, or even demand that you hold him despite his size. It’s okay when they’re puppies, but once they grow up, it all becomes a habit.
Try to teach an adult Great Dane not to crawl into your lap. It’s impossible!
That’s why people have embraced their behavior and don’t mind the big baby attitude.
Great Danes will always be Great Danes: big doggos acting like smol puppers, just like the ones from the photos down below.
1. Rockin Him To Sleep
This big baby still needs his mommy to rock him to sleep.
2. The Comfiest Place In The House
A clear example of a Great Dane that has no idea how much bigger he is than his sibling. Or, is he aware of it… hmm?
3. The Neighborhood Spy Cam
When he was just a little pupper, he used to climb onto the bed and beg for a lift to see what was going on outside. Now, he just sits on the bed like it’s a completely normal thing for a dog to do.
4. Hold Me, Mommy
He got scared, so naturally he ran to his mommy for comfort. No matter how big a dog gets, he’ll always be the baby of the family.
5. Spooning Hard
No one told him his brother hates being the little spoon.
6. Lap Dog For Life
She has no heart to tell her she’s not a lap dog. Never was… never will be.
7. When All The Seats Are Taken…
… you have your hooman as an emergency chair. What? All the other pups at the vet are sitting in their hoomans’ lap!
8. Not So Close To The TV
Mom always says not to watch TV too closely. But, I’m a big boy now? I can enter the TV now, right?
9. He Outgrew The Picnic Table
Hey, guys… I can’t fit in here? Don’t they have bigger tables?
10. That’s My Spot
What do you mean there’s no place on the couch? There’s plenty of it! I’m not THAT big.
11. Bigger Than The Easter Bunny
Is the dog taking photos with the Bunny, or is it the other way around?
12. Aah, Perfectly Comfy
Don’t mind me. I’m just gonna squeeze in right here. You comfortable, too, Sharon?
13. Matching Onesies Buddies
He outgrew onesies a while back. Since there are no such large numbers at the stores, his owner had to sew him one all by herself.
14. It’s Getting Weird
Weird positions are funny when they’re puppies. But, as adult dogs, it’s just weird.
15. Never Too Old For A Piggy Back Ride
Gee, I wonder who will be getting rides in a few months.
16. If It FIts, I Sits
Shhh, don’t tell him he’s way too big for his favorite chair!
17. All Great Danes Are The Same
They’ll all try to fit into your lap no matter if they’re almost as big as you are.
18. Donut Dane
He won’t give up his puppy bed, even if it means he has to sleep curled up like a donut.
19. No, We Definitely Can’t See You
What Great Dane? I see no large black dog behind that curtain. I’m pawsitive.
