The Great Dane Puppy and the Pony Leaned on the Fence to Watch Chickens
A spotted Great Dane puppy stands by a weathered fence with his big paws turned out and his tongue hanging out, looking straight into the camera. Behind him, Pebble the little pony rests her chin on the fence rail, her mane flopping over her forehead. On the other side of the rails, a few brown and white chickens peck at the dirt, entirely unaware that anyone is watching. A garden hose, boots and a blue watering can sit by the house.
Great Dane puppies grow astonishingly fast, and those enormous paws are a sign of how big they will become. Because their bones grow quickly, vets often advise on careful feeding and moderate exercise during puppyhood. Great Danes are usually gentle giants, though a puppy may not yet know how big it is. Chickens and ponies are best kept in secure enclosures where a curious dog cannot chase them, since a chase can frighten or hurt an animal. Keep a leash on the puppy and train calm behavior early. Your vet or a trainer can give you tips for a large breed.
The pair look like a pair of neighbors catching up on the news over the fence. The puppy's goofy grin suggests he is still deciding whether the chickens are friends or entertainment. The pony seems more settled, content to watch the yard with her chin on the rail. Everything here moves at a slow, scratching, pecking pace, and nobody seems to have any other plans.
