What used to be “my” couch has belonged to my Great Dane for the last several years. A guest can use it too, provided she wants a Great Dane in her lap.
Aren’t Danes just wonderful! I’m on my third one. Such goofy, sweet dogs. The size is the protection. My current one went way over size and scares everyone that doesn’t know her. She wears a pony blanket because dog blankets are way too small.
