So that’s a ‘teacup’ great dane. I didn’t think it would fit in my purse.

Handsome pup!
I had never heard of the breed before. Interesting.
Dogs are the BEST.
Mine isn’t a teacup. He’s wonderful.
He’s more like a beer stein.
Teacup Great Dane? I wonder if they live longer than regular Great Danes?
