Great Danes weigh around 175 pounds on average, and even though theyโre one of the largest breeds of dogs, they still try to be lapdogs.
Yes, itโs ridiculous, but these dogs just canโt seem to wrap their head around their actual size.
These are one of the most popular breeds of dogs and itโs not hard to see why people love them so much.
Here are thirty-six hilarious Great Dane pictures that show how large and lovable these dogs really are!
#1 Selfie Queen
This man taught his Great Dane how to be a selfie queen. Now, every time he gets his phone out and extends his arm, the dog poses for a picture. We think she is super photogenic!

#2 Big Dog, Little Kitty
Even though a Great Dane is a really large dog and may look a bit intimidating, they really are gentle giants. Here, we see a beautiful Dane playing with a small kitten. They appear to be great friends and weโd bet that the dog is a great protector of his much smaller friend.

#4 Theyโre Great Nap Buddies
Great Danes make great nap time buddies because they are so big and cuddly. You wonโt need a pillow or a blanket, because theyโll keep you warm. This Dane loves this little girl, clearly, and is in need of a nap after a long morning of playing.

Great Danes are so large that it literally gives them an excuse to not be graceful. These dogs are huge clowns and will lay in the strangest positions. This one must think he is a pretzel, chewing on his own leg.

#7 A Dane Will Always Lend an Ear
Whatever it is you need to vent about or get off your chest, your Great Dane will always be there to listen. Theyโre great pals and they will never talk back to you or give you advice you donโt want to hear. Thatโs the kind of friend we all need!

#8 Theyโre Huge Scaredy Cats
Great Danes may be huge dogs, but that doesnโt mean they are brave. Here, we have a Dane that is hiding on the couch, in fear of a small animal. We know the Great Dane could eat the other pet in one bite, but he doesnโt seem to know it.

Pippin the deer needed a mom after hers had been killed. Kate, the Great Dane, decided that she would take over the role of being Pippinโs mother. Theyโve been inseparable ever since day one.

#11 Fourteen Weeks Old and Huge
This Great Dane may only be 14-weeks-old, but he is huge. At his age, he is the size of a full-grown dog of a different breed. We bet his legs are all over the place when he runs.
#12 Pancake Pup
Great Danes have so much mouth flab, itโs kind of ridiculous. This dog is napping, and his lips have apparently melted into a big puddle of Dane pancake. Oh, well. Heโs still cute.

#13 More Carrots? Seriously?
This Great Dane is obviously not pleased with the veggie choice for dinner. His owner said he makes this face every single time she gets carrots out of the fridge. Weโd say he isnโt a fan.

#19 Paw for Days
Great Danes are massive dogs. This dog here is only four months old and his paw is bigger than his ownerโs hand. Those paws will take this guy a lot of miles in his lifetime, so itโs a good thing they are so big.

#23 I Will Not Get Off This Chair
Some people do not want their pets on their furniture for whatever reason. This dog decided to take over the chair and is obviously not pleased about being asked to move. We donโt think weโd try to move him. Heโs pretty big and that facial expression speaks volumes.

#26 The Sink is the Watering Hole
This Great Daneโs owner said she cannot use the bathroom without locking the door because the dog will push the door open with ease. Well, when the water bowl isnโt giant enough, you have to find alternative ways to get your hydration. This dog took matters into his own paws and decided to use the sink as his own personal watering hole.

#28 This Dane Thinks Itโs Human
Great Danes have personalities all their own. This dog likes to think he is a human. He sits in his recliner watching TV, much like a person. His facial expression shows he isnโt too amused by what is on TV though. Animal Planet must be slacking on new episodes.

#29 Baby Boy Has Big Paws
This Great Dane is only 8-weeks-old. He is just now able to leave his mother, and his paws are enormous. We think this little big guy will go on to do great things with those paws, like playing for hours with his human.

#30 She Thinks Sheโs a Human
This Great Dane cannot believe that someone told her sheโs not a human. She looks rather insulted that someone cannot see her human qualities as she sits on the couch. What a bummer. You mean Iโm not the lady of the house?
#31 Donโt Ignore Your Dane
Great Danes do not like to be ignored. This dog isnโt happy that his owner is spending time on his iPad, so he decided to snoop over his shoulder. Put the iPad down and love your dog. Technology can wait.

#35 Dane on a Train
Have you ever seen a Great Dane on a train? Well, you have now. This dog has nothing against taking public transportation. Itโs probably because heโs too big to get in the car and needed to get to PetSmart, stat.

#36 Dane with Goggles
This Great Dane wants to ride with his head out the window, but he doesnโt want those pesky bugs getting in his eyes. That is why he is wearing goggles while he takes his ride down the street. No bugs in these lookers.
