There are 2 of these huge dogs next door to me. I feed them treats through the fence so they will like me. Last time I was over at their house one of them jumped up and kissed me on my face. Scared me half to death but it really was a dog kiss.
Friends of ours had a mastiff that preferred men to women. Most of her friends were terrified of him. I would walk in their door, grab him by the face, say how ya doin rosie, and give him a big old kiss. He loved me.
