A Newfoundland Climbed on the Bed With the Muddiest Paws Ever

AI imagenewfoundlandcaught in the actmuddy bed

The comforter was once white, and now it is covered in muddy paw prints in every direction. Sitting in the very center of the bed is a huge brown Newfoundland with a thick, shaggy coat and gentle, red-rimmed eyes, sitting up as tall as a king on a throne. The soft smile on his face is hard to miss. Behind him, a window with a lace curtain glows with morning light, and a mug and a pair of glasses rest on the bedside table.

Newfoundlands are giant, gentle dogs known for their sweet temperament and love of water. They were bred to help fishermen, and many are strong swimmers. They are often called gentle giants and tend to be patient with children and other pets. That thick double coat catches a lot of mud, so regular brushing and a good towel by the door go a long way. Dry the paws and belly after muddy walks, and check between the toes for burrs and stones. Newfoundlands can overheat in warm weather, so provide shade, water, and cool rest. Their weight puts stress on their joints, so ask your vet about keeping him lean and healthy. A washable cover on the bed makes the whole routine easier.

He sits there looking calm and proud, and you can hardly blame him. A dog his size has earned the right to the biggest bed in the house.
