All dogs believe they are lap dogs, even if they weigh 150 pounds (especially if they weigh 150 pounds!).

They were all once little puppies and it’s hard for them to outgrow the habits of jumping on our laps or trying to snuggle up in a little dog bed (or in the crook of our arms in OUR beds).

Big dogs still want our affection and they’re willing to use their size to get it, but they’re also willing to forget all about that when it comes to how they lap it up.

If you’ve ever had a big dog you know exactly what we mean, and these 50+ photos will come as no surprise.
