A Great Dane Puppy Leaned In Close to the Cookies Left Out for Santa

AI imagegreat danecookies for santachristmas

With his big floppy ears and a wrinkled grey brow, a Great Dane puppy leans in close to a plate of chocolate chip cookies on a wooden table. His nose is just above the plate, his dark eyes are fixed on the treats, and a few crumbs have fallen nearby. Pine branches and cones frame the table, and a cozy room with a basket and a blanket sits behind him. His huge paws rest on the floor, and the table is dusted with crumbs from earlier baking.

Great Danes are gentle giants, and even as puppies they have huge paws and a lot of growing to do. They need a diet made for large breeds and careful exercise to protect their joints. They are friendly, affectionate dogs that love to be near their people, and they often think they are lap dogs.

Chocolate chip cookies are not safe for dogs, because chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine that is toxic to them. Raisins and some nuts can also be harmful. Keep treats on a high shelf or in a closed container, and call your vet or a pet poison hotline right away if a dog eats chocolate.

For now he is only sniffing, and the cookies are safe, but it is clear that this puppy has noticed them. A big puppy with a big nose and a small plate of cookies is a very holiday kind of scene, and he looks quite hopeful.
