1. They think they’re lap dogs.

"What do you mean I'm not supposed to lay here?"

2. Sometimes you walk them, sometimes they walk you.

Maybe it’s an early morning walk and you’re falling behind. Don’t worry, your dog will make that into a run and will drag you along if he has to.

3. Cuddling with a big dog is the best.

Like being the little spoon? Not a problem.

4. They give the best hugs.

Walking through the door is never relaxing. Before you know it, you have your 5’3” dog on his hind legs giving you a bear hug accompanied with a bunch of kisses.

5. They’re so clingy.

“Yes, I’m aware the bathroom only fits one of us, but I’ll cry if I’m not in there with you.”

6. Clingy makes it impossible to walk around the house.

Try stepping over a small horse, then you’ll understand.

7. They’re the best bodyguards you will ever have.

If you’re in a sketchy part of town, just walk with your dog. Everyone immediately migrates to the opposite side of the street.

8. They wouldn’t hesitate to put their life before yours.

If you’re at home alone and someone were to break in, that dog wouldn’t let anyone hurt you before they went through him

9. But you don’t understand why everyone is scared of your 100lb bear of a dog.

I don’t even know how many times I’ve said “Yes, he’s barking and growling at you but he won’t hurt you, I promise.” and gotten a look of “WTF” in response.

10. Big dogs have the biggest hearts.

No doubt about it.
