Every little girl loves playing dress-up and enjoys giving makeovers. Normally the person getting the make-over is usually the mother, an aunt, or a doll—but in this case the one getting a make-over is the dog.
We all know that doberman are usually potentially dangerous and vicious dogs. But this very tough-looking doberman is such a doll. He enjoys getting his nails done by an adorable little girl.
You can see him sitting patiently as the girl paints all the nails of his front paws in different colors. This video shows the lesser-known, softer side of the breed, and just how much this dog loves the little girl. It’s probably one of the most adorable things you’ll ever see.

That’s adorable!
Now, why all of a sudden do I have the urge to go buy some nail polish and paint my Shepherd’s nails?
Why you do dis to me, Nick, why!?
That dog’s just happy he gets to lay on the couch.
Cuteness overload! How sweet!
It’s a pack thing.
Too cute for words, though.
lol
I used to dress up my dog in ‘armor’ made of aluminum foil when I played ‘knights’. LOL. Bless him, he was long suffering. He was my best bud. :)
My daughter used to paint our Boxer’s nails. Cute.
plus he was smart enough not to do anything bad while the adult was right behind the little girl taking the picture
It depends entirely on the dog’s relationship with the person. I once saw an idiot stick his head in the back of a pickup and bark at a Doberman in the truck. We laughed at his bandages all summer. (He was not well-liked to start with)
I’ve known 2 couples who between them had 3 dobermans
only problem I saw was seperation anxiety, they would get anxious when their owners were gone., as far as hostility or bad behavior, not at all.
dobies are good dogs, just got a bad rap back in the 70’s from hollywood movies. that and the cropped ears , but you dont see people doing that much anymore.
I know that it’s considered an indisputable truth that “everyone knows how dangerous Dobermans are”; but that isn’t cast in concrete. I owned a Dobie that was sweet and docile. A well-known dog-trainer who helped me train one of my Labbies told me that Dobies got a bad rap because they tended to be “one-man” dogs, meaning that they attached themselves to a single person more than to outreach to everyone who pets them. He also said that it’s true that they could be trained and actually are trained as “yard dogs”, but so are German Shepherds (trained as police dogs), and we don’t even have to quibble about pit bulls.
Dobies brought up with good training are obedient, loyal and good companions.
That is really heartwarming.
There is born the next generation of dog lover right there.
That dog looks pretty docile with that girl.
I bet if someone were to threaten that little girl, a whole nuther side of that dog would come out.
I picked my three year old niece up and tossed her in the air and my brother’s doberman lunged at me. My brother yelled “HEY, NO!” in his loudest man-voice and the dog stopped.
First time I ever seen that dog snarl.
You don’t mess with doberman’s humans, especially kids.
When my daughter was about 4 or 5 she used to like to paint my nails. I let her but she knew painting daddy’s nails made him look silly. Which was the whole point, of course.
See my post 17. They attach to their families from my experience. Very protective.
My Shepherd is also not a dog who is friendly to everyone who wants to pet her.
Many times she will give of signals that she is not interested, like turn her head completely around and away from a hand reaching out to her.
She was a rescue dog that i adopted at 1.5 years of age, and she was a bit untamed at the time, even though she had spent time in foster homes away from the yard in which she initially lived and was abandoned there to starve very sadly.
When we first started out, few people were allowed to approach. The only ones seemed to be young female children. She never shied away from them.
Then an old lady from around the corner was allowed to pet her, and she remembered the lady a few months later and allowed her to pet her again.
Then she submitted to my friend from New Orleans after initially challenging him. Once he threw her ball for her in the yard, they were fast friends. She loves him to death.
Now it seems like almost anyone who comes over or approaches has a good chance of being accepted, so it really seems like she is mellowing over time.
I <3 my German Shepherd.
