I’m sure you’ve noticed this before, but the smaller the dog, the bigger the bark.

And the BIGGER the dog, the more laid-back, gentle, and, yes, scared, they seem to be. And I think it’s safe to say that Great Danes sit atop of the heap of all the gentle giants out there, don’t you?

On top of that, a lot of them also don’t seem to realize how huge they really are and how they could probably be running things in their households if they really felt like it.

But we know they just want to be as lovable and loyal as possible. Enjoy these Great Dane photos! We think you’re gonna love them.

1. I’m just gonna keep my mouth shut.
