A Gentle Great Dane Stands Tall in a Lake of Spilled Milk

A tall blue-gray Great Dane stands in the middle of a wide puddle of spilled milk, all four long legs planted on the wet tile. The head tilts upward, the ears fold at the tips, and the dark eyes are soft and a little worried. A basket of laundry, a plant, and a pair of shoes sit along the walls of the room. The milk splashes in every direction, as though a very big raindrop fell.

Great Danes are among the tallest dogs in the world, known as gentle giants with a calm, friendly nature. Because of their size, they can reach counters and tables easily, and a clumsy swish of a tail can sweep a lot off a surface. Giant breeds are prone to certain health issues, so regular vet visits, measured meals, and moderate exercise are important. Milk can upset some dogs' stomachs, since many dogs don't digest it well, so fresh water is the better choice. Wet tile can be slippery for long legs, so wipe up spills promptly to protect your dog's joints.

The milk is lost, but the Great Dane is so gentle that nobody could be cross for long. Standing in the pool, tall and quiet, with eyes full of sorry, the dog seems to be asking if anyone has a towel and perhaps a little understanding.
