19 Photos That Show Us How Loving German Shepherds Are

People are often uncertain about German Shepherds. They believe these dogs are tough, maybe even dangerous, all thanks to their appearance and the roles they have in police and military forces. 

But, that’s all business. German Shepherds are completely different dogs in real life. 

Sure, they’re still protectors, but even they know how to show love. 

These 19 photos are here to debunk myths and prove to everyone that German Shepherds are made of love, ready to show it to everyone in their life!

1. If It Fits, I Sits

There’s plenty of room for both of them on this chair. Good thing German Shepherds know how to share, especially with smol pooches.

2.Nighty Night, Sweet Shepies

Sleepovers are great! That’s why these two GSDs love having them. Despite their difference in age, they’re still best buddies.

3. The Best Huggers In The World

Did you know that of all dog breeds, German Shepherds give the best hugs? Oh, it definitely has a lot to do with their fluffy coat and big, chunky paws.

4. Friends Through Thick And Thin

Admit it… German Shepherds are pretty photogenic. But, they prefer to pose in pairs, with their best buddies.

5. Lazy Sunday Cuddling

Not every dog would allow another one to lay next to him like this. But, I guess not everyone could be a GSD. 

6. The Best Boop In The World

German Shepherds have a big, meaty nose. They’re perfect for boops of all kinds. If this was a different dog breed… let’s say a Shiba, this boop from his little hooman would be impossible. Then again, this is a GSD… a family dog like no other.

7. Rock-a-Bye Baby

Apparently, German Shepherds make great nannies. Just watch how sweet this big boy is with his tiny hooman.

8. The Fresh Scent Of A New Baby

Nothing better than smelling a baby, right? This GSD totally agrees. He’s always right by the baby’s side to protect him at all costs. Okay, he’s right next to his feet, but you understand, don’t you?

9. Friendship Knows No Boundaries

So what if one of them is a GSD and the other is a Corgi? They can be great friends. They are great friends! 

10. Cats Are Welcome, Too

These two spend so much time together that you can’t tell where the cat begins or where the dog ends.

11. A Heart To Fit Them All

Some are still warming up to the feeling of loving a cat, but they’re getting there. GSDs have a huge heart, so every household pet can fit it.

13. Good To See You, Buddy

When two GSDs don’t see each other for a while, they always greet each other with the fluffiest hugs. Aaah, such great huggers these German Shepherds are! 

14. Car Rides Are Their Favorite

A GSD won’t call shotgun when going for a car ride. He prefers sitting in the back and cuddling with little hoomans.

15. If They Could Meet Sharks, They’d Love Them, Too 

German Shepherds are so full of love that they don’t believe in different shapes, colors, or species. This GSD would even love to meet a shark, but he has to settle with a toy because, you know… sharks are not our buddies.

16. They’ll Always Give You A Paw When Needed

True friends are easy to spot: they’ll always lend a paw when you need it!

17. There To Make You Feel Better

There’s not much a dog can do when his hooman is feeling down. But, this GSD knows that just staying there and cuddling on the sofa together would help the hooman feel better in no time.

18. Friends For Life

When mommy brought home a new baby, this good boi knew she was bringing him a friend for life. That’s why he made a promise to keep the little one safe.

19. Yee-Haw Cowboy

There’s nothing a loving GSD wouldn’t do for his owner. He’ll even enjoy pretend play and being a horsie for the little cowboy.
