Many people ask my parents why we have SUCH a big dog. Weighing in around 180lbs, he’s actually a little on the small side for an English Mastiff male. The truth is, mastiffs are known to be exceptionally good with children. While he may want to kill the mailman, and he’s not that fond of strangers and other dogs – he LOVES me and my sister. He lets us crawl all over him and never complains. He won’t step on Annabel’s blankets and he never takes my toys. He doesn’t eat all the food we throw on the floor (though that might help mom) and he’s just a good boy (though I don’t appreciate having my face whacked by his tail.)
Here he is checking out Annabel:

Here’s one of me when I was a baby:
