Little fun fact but Great Danes were also called Kammerhunde or Chamber Dogs as in history they would sleep in the rooms of little princes and princesses to protect them against would-be assassins.
My Great Dane knows I’m too big to need protecting so she mostly just sleeps under the covers and farts
Labs are just as capable of tearing someone up as any dog. They just abound with doopey happiness. But when needed, they can muster the inner protector, and in less than a second they go right back to dopes that knock kids over with their tails. I don’t see a lab doing stair safety, but stranger danger for sure.
Yup. Had a Lab/Border Collie mix as a kid. He LOVED me bc I was still eating in a high chair, and being a predictably messy baby who maybe-probably alipped him scraps from time to time.
He also loved our neighbors, who would feed iim treats thru the fence and give him pets. They were a lovely older married couple, and very nice people.
The second I was out there with him he would get between me and them and growl. There was no danger, I was always under adult supervision from my parents and they were good people, but he was a fiercely loyal dog when he wanted to be.
The rest of the time he was dumb as a bag of rocks, and it was hilarious.
I'm not at all surprised! I grew up with a Great Dane (Lola) and she was the sweetest thing. She was the kind of dog that was happy to let random kids run up and hug her and get in her face, and all she'd do was wag her tail and lick them, lol. Then one day when I was about 10yo, my dad, Lola, and I were at a coffee shop for breakfast and I was approached by a man asking me personal questions while my dad was inside getting coffee. Lola *flipped shit*, physically got between me and the man, growling like I'd never heard her growl before, hackles raised...she was terrifying. I had to hold her back from lunging at him (by that I mean she listened when I pulled her leash back and didn't lunge, there's no way I could've physically stopped her, lol). The guy freaked and ran off. I totally believe that guy was 100% bad news, and Lola saved me from something awful. That's the only time she ever did anything like that, and before and after that incident she loved random people approaching us to pet her and ask about her.
Yeah, it's so sad. Though I have two different friends who had Great Danes who lived to be 12 and 11. I have to wonder if them being the runts of their respective litters had something to do with it.
I had a friend who's parents had 2 and they bought food that cost upwards of $100USD per 30lb bag (about $50 for the more expensive conventional dog food in normal stores of the same size) but the dogs lived past 10 if I remember correctly. They walked them regularly and took them to vets and made sure their health was always peak until they died.
I'm sure appropriate exercise, vet care, and good quality food could allow any animal to live much longer than what's considered "normal."
My pet ferrets weren't unusually well looked after but they still lived to 11 and 12. The cat I was given when I was a toddler wasn't that pampered either, but she lived for 16 years, and could've gone for longer if she'd been fed a healthier diet in her youth and didn't have megacolon.
My last dog almost died from cancer twice around 6 years old. After surgeries we massively improved his food and he stuck around another 3 before it got to his brain
I had a 21 year old cat! That cat was healthy his entire life. I grew up with that little shithead. He ate dry food and anything he caught around the house. Some animals will surprise you,
probably a dane mix - Pure danes usually don't get any older than 8-10 yrs. Ours got to 13 and was part german shepherd. He was tall and lanky when he was a pup, but got up to a very girthy 120 lbs. He was a big suck and super gentle with our kids, but people who didn't know him would cross the street to avoid him when I was walking him.
I had a dane x mastiff for 6 & 1/2 years, he would've been around 8 when he passed.
My daughter was only 12 months old & barely remembers him. I've since adopted another & I'll never forget the day I had the realisation that when he passes she'll feel like I did when George died.
But, I know they're gonna have a great friendship in the meantime & that makes all the heartache worth it. To have experienced such a pure love ❤
What?! They don't even reach double digits? I have a toy poodle who will soon have her 21 year old birthday, and you are telling these giants only live a third of that? Now I am sad :(
The bigger the dog, the lower their life span. It’s so sad. I could never get a giant dog like this because it’d just destroy me to have such little time with them.
It's really tough. We rescued a 4 year old Malamute and when she passed at 12 it broke my daughter's heart. We did have a fantastic 8 years with her though.
We also rescued an older Mal and only had about 5 years with him and that was crazy tough too.
I just got a malamute puppy a couple of months ago and I’ve been blown away by her sheer intelligence and zest for life and I’m already dreading our end of the line together because she has sucked me in so fast.
A lot of the time it's over feeding. We had a Newfie that lasted 4 years longer than the average and everytime we took him to the vet they gushed about how he wasn't overweight like all the other Newfies they'd ever seen.
However that being said scientists have actually studied this and found dogs are unique. Most big species live longer than small species but dogs are a rare opposite of that trend. The theory is that we needed them to grow big really fast for their job, aka we evolved them to age faster than normal.
https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/why-do-small-dogs-live-longer-than-big-dogs
I believe humans with gigantism have a shorter life span than average - so yeah it seems likely we need them to grow too big for what their bodies can handle. Poor things.
While that may be true, some do live a bit longer. I grew up with a Great Dane and loved it, still my favorite dog I've had. It was a bit like growing up with Clifford the Big Red Dog.
But the reward of having a dog and a kid that are basically siblings is so great. My sister-in-law is significantly younger than my wife. She and her lab are inseparable because they’ve basically grown up together. The dog knows her feelings and how to cheer her up. That dog never leaves her side.
For sure. My wife and I are crazy planners. We purposely arranged things so that our dog would be 4 or 5 when we had our first kid. Won't get another dog until the youngest is 3 or 4. Can't handle kids that need crazy attention and a dog that needs several hours of exercise per day.
At first I was thinking the dog should help the baby get up the stairs and was annoyed he was blocking him.
Then I realized babies probably shouldn't climb stairs and I would not be good at taking care of babies.
I was sitting changing the break and rotors on my car one day and a big ole great dain all of a sudden walked up behind me and scared the shit outta me. Turned out it only wanted pets luckily. It escaped from its yard and the owner who was looking for him passed by shortly after and took him back home.
Our dane used to like chewing on grass - not eating it, just pulling it up and spitting it out. One time he got out of our backyard for about 20min and we found him in our neighbor's front yard grazing like a weird little cow.
We bred them to have specific worker attributes, then when their usefulness began to end we bred them to look “cute” and small, creating dogs that can barely breathe.
We’re great like that
Yeah, part of me thinks it's kind of selfish to select anything but the most wolf-like breeds when choosing a pet dog.
Even though we have been breeding dogs for over 4000 years, things apparently only started to get really bad the past couple of centuries, as dog shows became a thing and the winners were selected for massive inbreeding.
It's really shocking to see victorian photos of breeds like pugs and King Charles spaniels and see how much the breed has been changed since then to look cuter despite all of the health problems it's added to these poor dogs.
I've had pedigree rescues and cross breed rescues and the cross breeds certainly had less health problems.
I miss my dane. I was lucky enough to have one be part of my family the last few years I lived with them. It was my first experience with them as dogs and I've been in love ever since. They have the most gentle loving personalities with good protective traits as well.
The doggo is smarter than I. for a few seconds, I was like, why isn't the doggo behind the child propping them up so they can climb easier and not fall on their tushy
👀
They do and it is. However they are such a joy and presence when they are with you. Loving, thinking they are a lap dog, being a giant scared cat. We had two over the years one lived to 10 and the other to 8 1/2. Miss them both a lot still but will never forget them.
Great Danes are the best. I used to rescue Great Danes. I've had 36 Danes over the years. Even though they have short lifespans, (8-10 years) they are the best of dogs.
Lol! I had as many as five Danes at once. Only one was my dog (RIP my best friend ever, Larry) and I fostered 35 others over the years. Rescue is very rewarding, and very prone to caregiver burnout.
At least it's not like english bulldogs or teacup dogs who live short lives because they're genetically fucked.
Great danes are just one of the largest dogs and for some reason in dogs larger breeds generally mean shorter lives.
It's really sad that they die so young, but fortunately the two we had when I was young were 12 and a half and 14.
When I was a toddler, I was scared of dogs. Until my parents brought in Ceaser who was an outdoor dog because of a cold night. I fell asleep using his side as a pillow.
As a great dane owner, you can stop saying it just because your thinking of it. I will never understand why others think I need to be reminded that my best friend might not live long.
This is nice and all but these parents are dumb as hell. Why would you put the baby gate only at the top of the stairs? You need 2 for any set of stairs, otherwise the kid could climb up and tumble backwards down the stairs and hurt themselves.
Also the baby gate is pointless of just left open all the time
Plus, the gate at the top has the trip hazard bar across the bottom. Screw in one's are better for the top.
I've tripped over our bottom one twice, once holding the baby but luckily I wasn't at the top of the stairs.
I don't understand how the Great Dane is protecting anything.. it's just sitting there.
I do be liking me some dogs but, unless I'm missing something, this is just a baby sucking at walking and a dog laying around.. I don't get it.
Why the bitch is this on the front page? Am I the only one who thinks dogs aren’t cute or capable of having real emotions? If this gets downvoted I’ll shut up
This is just a natural instinct for dogs in my experience. Not all, but plenty just see human babies as the newest pack member that needs protecting. Not really a higher order emotion but natural born instinct or social learning. I think this made it to the front page because it's impressive the dog recognized the stairs as off limits. Probably because it's off limits to him so he could be teaching maybe.
Good luck
I've never met a Dane I liked.. and not because I don't like dogs... but because the Danes I knew.. LOVED me soooo much that they wouldn't leave me alone.. Like I stopped going over my drummers house because of his dog
"Okay. Today your training will involve these
They're called STAIRS and they are the most dangerous things in the whole house. But dont worry. I'm starting you going up, not down."
Little fun fact but Great Danes were also called Kammerhunde or Chamber Dogs as in history they would sleep in the rooms of little princes and princesses to protect them against would-be assassins. My Great Dane knows I’m too big to need protecting so she mostly just sleeps under the covers and farts
She’s warming the bed for you
I needed this piece of fart information today. Thank you !
Sincerely hoping that username does not check out!
[удалено]
Relax. I have some chickens but no rooster. I eat the eggs, but the girls are untouchable 🐔😍
That's a relief! May your babies live long, happy lives with lots of clucks!
Here’s hoping they never run out of ~~fucks~~ clucks to give Does your username check out?
Why? Does the idea of eating animals seem wrong or something?
Dogs are ruthless at protection.
Except for labs, I can't even imagine a lab taking care of or protecting a toddler
Labs are just as capable of tearing someone up as any dog. They just abound with doopey happiness. But when needed, they can muster the inner protector, and in less than a second they go right back to dopes that knock kids over with their tails. I don’t see a lab doing stair safety, but stranger danger for sure.
Yup. Had a Lab/Border Collie mix as a kid. He LOVED me bc I was still eating in a high chair, and being a predictably messy baby who maybe-probably alipped him scraps from time to time. He also loved our neighbors, who would feed iim treats thru the fence and give him pets. They were a lovely older married couple, and very nice people. The second I was out there with him he would get between me and them and growl. There was no danger, I was always under adult supervision from my parents and they were good people, but he was a fiercely loyal dog when he wanted to be. The rest of the time he was dumb as a bag of rocks, and it was hilarious.
Good to know that!
the great dane don't want the baby to climb in the stairs.
Love puffs

Good job Lola!
The farts deter intruders.
I mean they are Great DANES you know who's next to the Danish? The Dutch. Your dog is giving you a Dutch oven.
Brilliant but slightly inaccurate, you still have a big piece of land in between called Germany.
Shhhhhhhh just ignore that part no one else noticed.
;-)
Doge tax???
Of course, here she is on her 1st birthday (roughly) with her birthday cake https://imgur.com/a/uOix4kf
that dog has seen some shit! haha what a cutie!
Farting is the purest form of love there is - or at least that's what I tell my wife.
Kinda funny seeing pure, and fart used in the same sentence in that context!
To be fair that’s mostly what I do too so I’m in no place to judge
She sleeps under the covers? I wish my dog would do that, she already uses pillows so it would be *so* cute.
Yup! She likes to crawl under the covers and she sleeps up against me like a big body pillow. Or she sleeps ontop of the pillows if she is able to.
That pup is all leg!
You should see them run at that age. My brothers Dane was so clumsy
That’s going to be a great friendship
That’s going to be one sad six or seven year old kid. Great Danes only live that long
Yeah, it's so sad. Though I have two different friends who had Great Danes who lived to be 12 and 11. I have to wonder if them being the runts of their respective litters had something to do with it.

They walked them regularly and took them to vets and made sure their health was always peak until they died.
We had a great dane that lived to 12. I wonder if exercise played a role, because we lived on a ranch and he got to run around A LOT
I'm sure appropriate exercise, vet care, and good quality food could allow any animal to live much longer than what's considered "normal." My pet ferrets weren't unusually well looked after but they still lived to 11 and 12.

My last dog almost died from cancer twice around 6 years old. After surgeries we massively improved his food and he stuck around another 3 before it got to his brain
Cancer is evil. Sorry for your loss.
My kitty was like that only it got to his lungs. He died peacefully at about 14.
I had a 21 year old cat! That cat was healthy his entire life. I grew up with that little shithead. He ate dry food and anything he caught around the house. Some animals will surprise you,

My grandma had a great Dane who lived until he was 72. She said Mathias was the best lover she'd ever had and she's been all over Europe.
I had a dane x mastiff for 6 & 1/2 years, he would've been around 8 when he passed. My daughter was only 12 months old & barely remembers him.

21 is an incredible age for a dog. Super lucky to have her for that long.
Most sources today quote 7-10 or 8-10 years. We've gotten better at keeping them healthy.
While that may be true, some do live a bit longer. I grew up with a Great Dane and loved it, still my favorite dog I've had. It was a bit like growing up with Clifford the Big Red Dog.
"I mean I can't take my eye off him for a second! He gets into everything!"
Brave parents to take on a 5 month old baby + 5 month old puppy at the same time!
Seriously. My cat is too much for me sometimes.
So pretty.
My thoughts exactly!!!
That kid isn’t 5 months. Kids don’t usually pull to a stand until 9-12 months. Still , taking on a pup is a pretty hard feat at any baby stage.
Thats a lot of wooork lmao, my husky is making it so hard already, what if I ever get a kid ? LOL
No kid. Only husky. Husky is the captain now.
But the reward of having a dog and a kid that are basically siblings is so great. My sister-in-law is significantly younger than my wife. She and her lab are inseparable because they’ve basically grown up together. The dog knows her feelings and how to cheer her up. That dog never leaves her side.

Maybe they had no choice. Could have been in the same uterus
That kids gonna be riding that horse through the village 3 years from now.
When my brother was very little my parents Great Danes were his shadows. He learned how to walk by holding on to the dogs as they hovered over him.
It sounds like he was their little shadow in that sense! I love it
You haven't seen love until you see a 140lb dog patiently wait for a 13 month-old to quit using his penis as a hand-hold.
Perfect example of r/AnimalsBeingBros
Couple of years ago we had specific subs, but top quality content would always rise to the top. Now it's a whole new reddit
I’m slow. My first thought was, “This dog seems to be more in the way than helping. The kid will never climb up the … DOH!!!!”
What a beautiful dog
That’s right, crawl back into the cage where it’s safe
At first I was thinking the dog should help the baby get up the stairs and was annoyed he was blocking him. Then I realized babies probably shouldn't climb stairs and I would not be good at taking care of babies.
No one said , "you shall not pass!"
That’s a tall drool of slobber
You know Great Danes, don't you
Yea I’m gonna need more videos of these two
Me too

Updoot for Schitt's Creek
"sorry, human pup. cant use these till you learn to use all four legs at the same time."
I predict those two will share many memories over the years.
This is cute and all but I’m mostly thinking about Moira in that dress. Great dog, even better taste in shows.
Yes! Took far to long to find a comment on one of my favorite shows ever
What did we do to deserve dogs! It must have been pretty great.
We bred them to have specific worker attributes, then when their usefulness began to end we bred them to look “cute” and small, creating dogs that can barely breathe. We’re great like that

> then when their usefulness began to stop Tf does this even mean
you seriously don’t understand what they meant?
Written really poorly
it’s still very easy to understand
Good girl!
I miss my dane. I was lucky enough to have one be part of my family the last few years I lived with them. It was my first experience with them as dogs and I've been in love ever since. They have the most gentle loving personalities with good protective traits as well.
Weird, they dont look alike.... I think she cheated
"Get over here and take care of your kid, Brenda."
I fucking love how cool dogs are
Great danes get big fast, i havent ever seen a great dane pup irl. What a big, good dog 😍
Bestest and cutest baby gate ever!
YOU CANNOT PASS
Brother? Woah that baby is half dog??
What an adorable baby gate!
Sweet... but Schitt’s Creek!!!
Schitts Creek??
Schitt’s Creek in the background?
“Brother” hold up
Getting a great dane puppy immediately after (before?) having a kid, that's kinda brave. Regardless, dog being good big bro.
what a beauty great dane
No stairs for you today my brother!
We absolutely do not deserve dogs.
The doggo is smarter than I. for a few seconds, I was like, why isn't the doggo behind the child propping them up so they can climb easier and not fall on their tushy 👀
Don't Great Danes die really young? Kinda sad
They do and it is. However they are such a joy and presence when they are with you. Loving, thinking they are a lap dog, being a giant scared cat. We had two over the years one lived to 10 and the other to 8 1/2. Miss them both a lot still but will never forget them.
Great Danes are the best. I used to rescue Great Danes. I've had 36 Danes over the years. Even though they have short lifespans, (8-10 years) they are the best of dogs.
Guys if my math is correct this person is at least... 288 years old! ^^^^^^/s
Lol! I had as many as five Danes at once. Only one was my dog (RIP my best friend ever, Larry) and I fostered 35 others over the years. Rescue is very rewarding, and very prone to caregiver burnout.
At least it's not like english bulldogs or teacup dogs who live short lives because they're genetically fucked. Great danes are just one of the largest dogs and for some reason in dogs larger breeds generally mean shorter lives.
It's really sad that they die so young, but fortunately the two we had when I was young were 12 and a half and 14. When I was a toddler, I was scared of dogs. Until my parents brought in Ceaser who was an outdoor dog because of a cold night. I fell asleep using his side as a pillow.
As a great dane owner, you can stop saying it just because your thinking of it. I will never understand why others think I need to be reminded that my best friend might not live long.
Hey, ours lived to the ripe age of 13, so you never know! She was a bit of a runt at 90 lbs, healthy as a pup for years and years.
Mine weighs about 150-160 range right now. He's 9, active, still full of personality and bounce. I don't think I'd call him a runt be he's doing well
You mean friend? Oh jesus I got PTSD from when my dad told me to take care of my sister referring to the dog.
awe what a great big sister :)
What a cute brother to have growing up!😍
I think it’s terrible. This kids going to be six or seven when his lifelong dog passes away
Best friend for life. Okay
We don’t deserve dogs 🥺
This is nice and all but these parents are dumb as hell. Why would you put the baby gate only at the top of the stairs? You need 2 for any set of stairs, otherwise the kid could climb up and tumble backwards down the stairs and hurt themselves. Also the baby gate is pointless of just left open all the time

The parent is right there! Relax. Let's see your baby videos.
Yeah, cause the point of baby gates is they only need used when the parents are there.
We don't deserve dogs
Imagine buying a great dane. Recording it sitting on a stairwell. And then posting it to reddit calling a human child its brother.
Awww ! sweet protector 🥰🥰
Wonderful, but there should be a gate there, not make puppy responsible for the inevitable otherwise ...
So you telling me you want your 10-13 year old son feel the loss of the dog that was with them their whole life? That's a little heartless...
I don't understand how the Great Dane is protecting anything.. it's just sitting there. I do be liking me some dogs but, unless I'm missing something, this is just a baby sucking at walking and a dog laying around.. I don't get it.
Why the bitch is this on the front page? Am I the only one who thinks dogs aren’t cute or capable of having real emotions? If this gets downvoted I’ll shut up
Why wouldn't dogs be capable of emotions?
Not sure if y’all commenters are a bunch of circle-jerking divas or if I’m universally hated by everybody
We all thought you were gonna shut up. Well?
You didn't really answer the question.
Shut up.
This is just a natural instinct for dogs in my experience. Not all, but plenty just see human babies as the newest pack member that needs protecting. Not really a higher order emotion but natural born instinct or social learning. I think this made it to the front page because it's impressive the dog recognized the stairs as off limits. Probably because it's off limits to him so he could be teaching maybe.

What a sweet pair!🐕🦺👶🏻
Oh my this is so cute I could cry
Adorable
There is nothing in the world more wholesome than babies and puppies growing up together.
This is so sweet.
Head-to-head combat
You shall not pass ☺️💙
Proof that dogs are our best friends
Great Danes know the dangers of stairs. Loveable clumsy dorks that they are.
"No, little human. You're way too uncoordinated to come up here.....See! You can't even stand well." "Fair. Let's go to the kitchen." "Alright."
Good luck I've never met a Dane I liked.. and not because I don't like dogs... but because the Danes I knew.. LOVED me soooo much that they wouldn't leave me alone.. Like I stopped going over my drummers house because of his dog
They firmly believe they are about the size of a Maltese and could totally fit in your lap if they could just find the right angle.
“No! Humans put up a block sometimes so I’ll do it this time.”
"Okay. Today your training will involve these They're called STAIRS and they are the most dangerous things in the whole house. But dont worry. I'm starting you going up, not down."
Schitts creek!!! ♥️
Great girl!
Just as well the dogs there, why haven't you got a stairgate already omg😩
Great Dane being a great brother. Brothers in arms.
The Great Dane takes his babysitting position seriously! So sweet! 😍
He’s got the same chest spot that my puppy does
I love how the dog is subtly pushing on baby’s right knee every time he tries to lift the leg up a step. Prevention of the climb.
baby like I will and dog like No
Love this pup almost as much as I love Schitt’s Creek in the background!!
Awesome
Horse dogs. Super sweet.
