If there is the Gulliver of the canine world, it must be Great Danes. These dogs can grow up to a gravity-bending 175 pounds and stand at an impressive 32 inches tall.
But as huge as they are, they’re also goofy, friendly, and instantly loveable. It’s their good-hearted temper and impressive stature that make them one of the most interesting king-size furballs to observe.
So pull your seats closer, because Bored Panda prepared you a list of the funniest, silliest and craziest Great Danes living their great lives, clueless about just how much space they take up and how much we all love them.
Psst! More pics of these huggable and silly giants can be found in our previous features here and here.

One Of My Favorite Pictures. Great Danes Are Such An Awesome Breed
My Great Dane Is Always Cold During The Winter And It's Hard To Find Clothes In Her Size So My Friend Made Her Some Pajamas
Averaging up to 2 feet, 8 inches high, Great Danes are instantly recognizable as the world’s tallest dog breed. And while it often shares that title with Irish Wolfhounds, it was a Great Dane named Zeus who, at 3 feet, was deemed the world’s tallest dog.
The interesting fact about Great Deans is that millions grew up with them without knowing it. Remember “Scooby-Doo”? Devin Harris of Joplin, MO is the owner and operator of Great Danes of the Ozarks, argues that “‘Scooby-Doo’ creator Iwao Takamoto consulted a Great Dane breeder before designing the character but styled him with characteristics never seen in the breed, including a humpback, and bowed legs.”
Grandma And Great Grandson
No one, and I mean No one, should be able to have that much swagger. (definitely talking about the grandma here)
When I was in my teens, my brother had a Dalmatian who was about 65 lbs, normal size for that breed. I'm 5'4." Somewhere there's a picture of me with the dog sitting *upright" in my lap so that his head's above mine. :-)
Had a 65 lb Dal myself who was convinced he was a lap dog 😆🥰

In our previous interview with Bill Lambert, the Head of Health and Welfare at The Kennel Club, we found out that Great Danes need more than 2 hours of exercise a day. Moreover, puppies and senior canines will require a lot less movement to avoid over-exercising.
Lambert explained that the Great Danes have a friendly and outgoing temperament and are sometimes referred to as gentle giants. “With that in mind, they are best suited to owners who have a larger house and garden in order to provide them with enough space for both exercise, mental stimulation and to express themselves," he said.

Kinda reminds me of the one making the rounds recently, where a baby elephant was in trouble for doing something (I forget what). The baby elephant decided to try to hide behind what looked like a telephone pole, clearly hoping that nobody would be able to see them. :-)
Mutka & Luna, 2 Great Danes From Finland
The owners of these gentle giants also have to be prepared for bigger financial investments. "They need more food and more space, and you may need to adapt your home, ensuring your dog can’t reach things which a smaller dog wouldn’t be able to," Lambert said.
"Training is essential with any dog, but especially with such a large breed it’s crucial that owners are able to exert control so that they can handle their dog more easily and understand their dog’s behavior."

Happy Birthday Huhu. 14 Years Is Amazing For A Great Dane
WOW! You guys are doing an amazing job as parents for him to be 14!
Ours was 15 when she passed. Our vet, who she saw since she was 3, made a hall of fame wall and since then they have added so many dogs. When we had to put her down, every member of the staff came in to see her and laid on the floor with her. The vet tech who had a special bond with her carried her, alone, from our car into the office. He said, no, this girl deserves the VIP and we are not putting her on a gurney. That made me cry so much. He carried all 130 lbs of her.
Great Danes on my favorite breed but I would never dream of getting one because I didn't think they lived past 7 or 8 years old. This is amazing.
14!!!!!! That's amazing 😍, I was just saying to my husband that I'd love one but the 7 year edge out kills me..
14???? Y'all wanna talk about miracles, this is the closest thing to one.
Omg! That IS impressive! Mine only made it to 10, and he was the last of his litter to pass away!
Zero Personal Space With A Great Dane
All animals apparently expand as the sleep. Dogs do it, even the little ones. Cats do it, even as kittens. That’s why we end up sleeping about six inches in from the end of the bed. Personally, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This Kid Walking His Dog
Years ago, I saw a little girl, couldn’t have been more than maybe 8 years old max, walking not one, but two Great Danes. Both Harlequins, btw. Beautiful and huge. Not being dragged by them, but walking them. She was having absolutely NO problems walking them. They listened to her when she told them to do something, or not do something. Such polite dogs for a little girl to walk.
The kids is holding the leash... The dog is walking himself, and if he decides to, will RUN/drag the kid!
He won't run. His job is staying with the kid. Now my goofy hound mastiff mix is too strong for my 11 and i know he will chase a car that has the right smell so she can't walk him. But this dude takes his responsibilities more seriously

He was pulling it slowly enough that he hoped I wouldn't notice. Stopped what I was doing to wrestle twine from doggo's mouth or entire roast would have been gone. He thought he was being so sneaky!!

This is a Comfy cone and can be bent back to accommodate the dogs needs, like eating. It also soft, not hard plastic. I’ve also used a “donut”, which is also soft but doesn’t surround the head impairing vision and eating but does stop the doggo from licking stitches and such. I dislike cones but sometimes you need to protect incision sites.

I think it's more that it's a big dog and not the purebred thing. Big dogs just have shorter lives. It's just a sad reality.
I had a huge yellow lab and his legs gave out at 12 years old and we had to euthanize him. I'm not a fan of small dogs but my next dog will be a medium sized dog. I can't go through the pain of having a large dog and them not living too long again.

I thought the human looked a lot like a vet tech, then I realized it's a vet's office in the pic.🤔
I’m trying to imagine anyone taking her for a walk. It would more likely be the other way around. Years ago I saw a tiny chihuahua on a leash taking her human, who looked to be in his 90’s, for a walk. The little dog would take 3 or 4 steps, then stand perfectly still waiting for the old guy to catch up, then they’d do it again. It was so cute!

Get A Dane They Said
It is not a bad thing for a Dane to be slightly underweight when they start getting older. It helps to keep extra weight off their hips. We were able to prolong my Dane's life by keeping a bit of weight off. When she started gaining weight, we notice she really struggled with her hips. As soon as that weight was off, she was so much better. This is all supervised by the vet and I give credit to the vet for suggesting it. He himself was a Dane owner so he knew first hand. All of his Danes lived well into the 13/14 range. Ours passed at 15.

It's the funniest looking thing.
They look lovely, but like all giant dog breeds they have a super low life expectancy, well below 10 years, and are prone to a number of medical issues. I wish health would just once trump looks for fancy breeders.
No thank you. I prefer small poops, easy baths, and small slobber.
