Great Dane Accidentally Scares His Neighbor’s Puppies
Great Danes are quite impressive dogs. They are essentially gentle giants of the dog world. My mom grew up with a Great Dane in her family. She has fond memories of being five and pretending that Aegis was a pony. Granted, Aegis was such a good girl she would let my mom and uncle climb all over her and never got upset. Then, she’d allow them to sit on her back while she carried them around for hours. According to my mom, she was a friendly and caring dog who loved to make friends with the world.

Woman Trains Dog To Fetch Her A Cocktail Every Time She Says “Gin O’Clock”
Dogs can be incredibly clever and the tricks they can learn are quite impressive. One smart Labrador may take the cake, though, for a trick his owner taught him.

Toddler Sneaks Into Room To Give Dog Nursing Her Puppies Some Kisses Before Bed

Big Dog Objects To Getting His Nails Clipped In Hilarious Video

She would throw the biggest fits when the nail clippers came out, but she was only 10lbs so there wasn’t much she could do about it. However, some bigger dogs are equally opposed to getting their nails clipped and it’s a...
