If Chihuahuas have the big dog syndrome, then Great Danes have the small dog syndrome. They are oblivious to their size, often behaving like oversized lapdogs. Despite their massive frame, they’re known for their gentle and affectionate nature.
Great Danes will always be large dogs with a small-dog mentality, just like the ones shown here.
Time to sleep
Close those big bloodshot eyes now.
Very comfy there
Here’s a perfect example of a Great Dane who seems completely unaware of how much bigger he is than his sibling. Or perhaps he’s fully aware and just doesn’t mind!

Big brother is watching
When he was a tiny pup, he’d hop onto the bed and beg for a lift to see what was happening outside. Now, he simply sits on the bed as if it’s the most natural thing for a dog to do.

Hold me
He got scared, so he naturally ran to his mommy for comfort. No matter how big a dog gets, he’ll always be the baby of the family.

Custom fit for the big boy
He outgrew onesies a while ago. Since there aren’t any big enough at the stores, his owner had to sew one for him herself.

Weird positions are amusing when they’re puppies. But as adult dogs, it’s just odd.

They’ll all try to squeeze into your lap, no matter if they’re almost as big as you are.

He refuses to give up his puppy bed, even if it means he has to sleep curled up like a donut.
