The

Gentle Giant

Softness is enormous

You carry your kindness like a secret the world doesn't deserve. Size is not the same as weight.

How you’ll recognise a Gentle Giant.

Three quiet signals. None of them about breed. All of them about the way they hold a room.

i.

Does not know how big they are

They will try to sit on your lap. They will be very surprised that this does not work. They will try again tomorrow.

ii.

Careful with the small

With babies, with kittens, with small dogs, with everything breakable. They are aware of the responsibility of their own size.

iii.

Heavy like comfort

When they lean on you, it is not clumsy. It is the closest thing a dog has to an embrace.
