The Newfoundland isn’t for everyone–but that’s just because of their size. A Newfie can weigh up to 150 lbs, and they need a fair amount of yard space for exercise. Ideally, a Newfie has access to water for swimming. (They were originally bred for water rescues, and they LOVE the water.) Anyone who’s ever met a Newfie knows that despite their hugeness, they are the gentlest of giants.
And luckily, for our purposes, Newfies are also hilarious! They’re so big that they look out of place in pretty much any situation. Here are 15 photos proving that not only is the Newfoundland one of the best dog breeds out there, they also might secretly be bears. (via Bored Panda).
