When this dog lifts its heavy head, it is a sight to behold, towering over all others in pride and awe: The Great Dane, with its stunning black coat, is enormous in every way. Its ears, head, and paws are all very large. You're in luck because it fits comfortably in your hand. That's good since the Great Dane makes a faithful friend. It will always go where its companions go. Look at how large even its heart is!
