#17: Great Dane
The Great Dane is the gentle giant everyone admires until they calculate the food bill. Huge, affectionate, and often surprisingly sweet, Danes have a loyal following among owners with enough space, strength, and furniture flexibility. They are imposing without always knowing it, which is how a dog the size of a small sofa decides it belongs in your lap. Technically wrong. Emotionally nonnegotiable.
