This Great Dane Turned Bright Blue When the Paint Can Tipped

AI imagegreat daneblue paintliving room

There is more blue on this dog than on a summer sky. A grey Great Dane named Titan stands in the middle of the room with streaks of bright blue paint covering his face, ears and legs, his round eyes wide with surprise. A paint can lies on its side next to him with a puddle of blue spreading across the floor. A basket and a pair of shoes stand nearby, now splashed with color.

Great Danes are tall, gentle giants that often think they are lap dogs. Their size means a wagging tail or a quick turn can knock over a lot, including a can of paint. They are affectionate, patient and eager to be near people, so a home project with a Dane in the room often means a Dane in the middle of the project.

Paint is not safe for dogs. Many paints contain chemicals that can harm the skin or the stomach if they are licked off, so keep your pet away from painting projects. If your dog gets covered in paint, call your vet or a pet poison hotline before trying to clean it. Using harsh solvents on the coat can be dangerous, and your vet can suggest safe ways.

Titan keeps his gaze steady, a very large blue masterpiece. For a dog who has accidentally become a painting, he is wonderfully calm about it.
