What’s not to love?
Aren’t they adorable?
We saw an adult version this morning occupying the entire back of a pick up truck.
The owner, a woman about our age, was taking her dog to work, and as she used to berth a boat here, the Manager has allowed her to park her car and walk her dog to the relevant workplace just around the corner.
How can you not love a face like this? Full of personality and soppiness.
This gentle giant stepped out of the truck and ambled over to say hello.
Coming almost to my waist, he was a leaner, and I could bury my hands completely in his fur. With feet like dinner plates and weighing in at over 11 stone (154lbs/ 70kg) he dwarfed Maggie who was sulking having been left in the car.
A truly magnificent animal, the gentlest of giants.
This is a Leonberger.
And his work?
A therapy visiting dog, on his way to the local nursing home.
All pictures from Google, thank you for having such a wonderful selection.
The dogs are great and the pictures will be nice to remember them.

They are gorgeous aren’t they. We’d never seen a leonberger until we met our last vet and this face just appeared over the counter! Beautiful animal, and such a softie!
The first time I have seen one. At one time I knew the breeds but not any longer.
I love dogs . We have seen some interesting crossbreeds too, the best has to be a bassett hound cross shar pei, very odd!
