A lot of people don’t know much about Great Danes. They know they’re huge dogs but what else? Do you know that Great Danes are also the sweetest dogs with the biggest hearts? Do you know that they can look majestic and yet be silly at the same time?
Great Danes are great fur companions and these photos will prove why they’re the greatest!
Want to play one-on-one but can’t find anyone? Get your great dane to play with you! Make sure you’ve got a couple of extra balls though. There’s a big chance they might puncture the ball with their teeth.
Lily is blind but she’s got a companion by her side, Madison, guiding her every step. They might be two huge dogs coming your way. But they’re also two dogs with great, big hearts. You’ll want to just hug them when you see them.
Great Danes are not just known for their height. This one makes sure you know her for one more thing.
“I trained my Great Dane to take selfies with me – if I’m sitting and extend my arm with my phone in hand, she plops up next to me, leans, and gives the camera this look.”
Edna’s the perfect size for lounging with her little sister. She’s protecting her with her head draped over her. And she’s prepped her body to be her little sister’s head pillow. Perfect lounge partners.
5. How big are Great Danes?
Sit down beside them on the couch and you’ll see. They may look half your height when they’re standing on their four paws. But once they sit down, they will tower over you!
Do you know how other dogs run around to catch their tails? This one doesn’t want his tail. He wants to catch his own paw! And with a lot of contorting, he finally got it!
It’s not the height we should note in this picture. It’s funny how this big great dane can’t get up on the couch even more just to get away from this small dog. Wanna bet he’s scared of the smaller dog’s small bark, too?
Pippin was rescued by Kate’s mom when Pippin’s mom abandoned her. Kate sensed what Pippin felt and stayed by her side. Now, you’ll always see them together.

His little feline friend is even smaller than his front paws. But he doesn’t care. All he wants is to take care of this little kitty. And this little kitty wants it, too.
His cheeks are so big, they’ve melted in the heat. Wonder if it’ll stay the same way when he gets up. Is it too hot to touch?
Great danes look so silly and funny when they’re running around. Their ears and cheeks flap around. And their tongue fly about. They look so funny!
Who knew this little one will grow up to be a huge, tall dog? From this angle, it looks like they’re just really small puppies. And then we remember, their mothers aren’t regular-sized dogs. And now, it looks like these puppies are the same size as regular adult dogs.
This great dane is confused. What happened to confused him so? Will he find out the truth?
He is taking his job seriously. And he definitely looks the part. Trespassers, beware!
This little one wanted to adopt a dog and went with his parents to the local animal shelter. He wanted a small dog but you know what they say, when you know, you know. And this little boy and great dane knew they were brothers for life.
Would you believe that paw belongs to a four-month-old Great Dane? How tall is that dog? And how much taller will they still get?
He really, really wants to be a lap dog. Who cares if only his behind and back paws are on his mom’s lap? They’re still on her lap!
Nana has found the best listener to her stories. And he’ll never interrupt her stories except to agree with her. He’s the Great Dane.
“My sister caught her new Great Dane puppy sleeping like this.”
So this is what a Great Dane puppy looks like. They do look like regular puppies. Wonder at what age they start to grow bigger than usual. And look at that sleeping position!
They’re usually seen as enemies. But in the case of these two, they’re definitely besties. Although, judging by this kitty’s face, it doesn’t quite look like it. Or maybe she’s just really tired or doesn’t like photos.
We wonder if this Great Dane was named Jäger after a drunken night. Or maybe his dad is a German, or a hunter, or a German hunter. Which story seems plausible?
23. “So, what’s on your mind?”
The Great Dane therapist. They’ll listen to your every word. And they won’t take their eyes off of you. Better than your disapproving therapist.
“My old girl Darma. She’s a 10-year-old great Dane, but no one has told her yet. Her eyes may be cloudy and hip a little stiff but her heart is as big as ever.”
It doesn’t matter what age they get. Great Danes will always have the biggest hearts to pair with their big size.
This Great Dane has surpassed the average life expectancy of a Great Dane by 3 years. Wow. Lady has definitely defied the odds!
When you live with a Great Dane, be prepared to live with a dog with their own couch, their own queen-sized bed, and their own chair. Because they won’t fit anywhere else. And then they’ll take over your couch, your bed, and your chair. And where will you stay then?
Would you believe he’s still a puppy? He’s a Great Dane puppy. Are you less confused now? Just wait a few more weeks and he’s going to grow twice as big!
The wisest of all the Great Dane Jedis. He is both wise and strong. Yes, the force is strong with this dane.
“This is Buck, a 10 week old Great Dane pup. He has now mastered the sit command and is now part of the good boy club.”
Well, well, well, Buck, looks like someone has been doing a good job. Keep it up, little dane!
He’s chewing your favorite shoe but how can you resist those irresistible eyes? Do you want to chew more shoes, my precious? Here’s more!
This guy is having so much fun outside. And he doesn’t want to go in. Five more minutes please? Pretty please?
Who likes long, boring road trips? Nodoby does! Not even this guy right here. You can’t fool him with this boring fort, too. Are we there yet?

“My cat has been staying with my mom recently and he has had issues getting along with other cats so I was worried about him with her dogs. But, apparently, he’s fallen in love with her Great Dane.”
Cats and dogs have always been shown as great enemies. But, in their case, they’re the best of friends.
Some dogs are just meant to be models. A clear example is 10 -week old Remy. Look at those eyes, that fur, and those paws! Did you know Remy wears size 12 sneakers? Damn.
36. No physical distancing here
This Great Dane missed his dad so much, he broke physical distancing protocol. But he doesn’t care as long as he gets to hug his dad again. His dad’s not complaining, too, and would have probably done the same!
37. Black lab or black dane?
We’re confused, too. That is, until you look at their paws. And then you know, that’s a Great Dane!
She just found her forever home when her mom adopted her. But she remains nameless. Can you suggest a name for her?
Great Danes are busy. They can’t be bothered to stop and take a selfie. Oh alright since you insist but no smiles!
40. The tortoise and the puppy?
They maybe enemies but cats and dogs can often be seen together and can become best buds. But a puppy and turtle? That’s uncommon. But when we bond, we bond, right?
Yes, this Great Dane’s excited for their little brother or sister to come! And he’s not going to leave his mom’s side until they come. He’s going to protect her all day, every day.
“He’s 6 months old and a rescue. He was skin and bones when my in-laws got him, but he doesn’t get along with the dogs out on the farm and they can’t keep him at their house in town long term, so we agreed to take him. My wife has wanted a Great Dane for years anyway.”
He’s a lucky guy to be wanted by so many humans. And now, he’s living with a family who has wanted him for years! How lucky!
43. Meet Zoe’s best friend
Just a normal day in their house. Their daughter loves to lounge and play with ZoZo. It’s always great to have a dependable best friend when you’re still young.
Great Danes may look so majestic when they’re standing or sitting still. But when they’re running or playing, they really look so silly. Like this guy right here. But they’re still adorable, no matter how silly they look!
It’s so hard to let go of the things that give you comfort. This Great Dane still can’t accept he’s a full-grown dog now and he no longer fits on the things he used to enjoy when he was younger. Move on to the couch, boy, it still works the same as the ottoman!
Meet Hamilton, readers. Isn’t he simply gorgeous? He can do no wrong.
Dogs don’t usually love baths. But this one is different. Maybe because they made bath time fun for him?
When a Great Dane gets cold, it’s hard to find dog clothes that will fit them. Their clothes need to be specially made, like this one. As long as they’re warm when they’re cold, you’ll do everything you can for them.
He’s sitting down like a good boy so he can eat. So where is his food? He’s been waiting for awhile now.
50. Playing with a Great Dane
Be sure that you weigh more than your great dane. Or make sure you play a game where they don’t drag you easily. Don’t play like them or your great dane will always win.
