Odin met a baby after his own heart today. it's quite rare for him to see a dog who resembles himself!
(not a newfie, but a St. Bernard mix, I think the gentleman said.)

Okay, that's it, close the internet down, we have reached peak cuteness!
@0xabad1dea New "explain your smolness" template just dropped.
@0xabad1dea I wonder what makes dogs think that a situation might be threatening? Odin is so clearly much bigger, and that dog seems to be totally cool sitting there staring at him. I wonder if there's some unseen, unheard, unsmelled vibe going on.

@Sempf big dog attitude and little dog attitude seem to be instinctual from birth, independent of whether the future big dog is big yet or not.
and weiner dogs are small dogs but have big dog attitude, they're not afraid of Odin

@[email protected] @[email protected] My grandmother used to train great danes, an other type of large dog with a generally good temperament. Nearly all small little dogs (puppies or just smaller breeds) seemed entirely happy to play with, try to threaten and/or, for the adult dogs, romantically engage with the danes despite it being obviously physically impossible for them to impact the danes at all (many of the smaller dogs were shorter than the danes' knees). That did rather immediately change on the one occasion I saw a dane get actually angry with a smaller dog, but even then the caution only lasted as long as the growling did.
@0xabad1dea I have even seen differences with in breeds. I have met chihuahuas who are very social and will walk right up to you, and I've met chihuahuas that will sit in the corner and shake if there's any other human they don't know in the room. Dogs are people.
@0xabad1dea St Bernad mix? I would never have guessed. So kyoot
