A Saint Bernard Puppy Sat in a Flower Pot Like a Tiny King

AI imagesaint bernardflower potpuppy

Sitting upright in a big terracotta flower pot, a red and white Saint Bernard puppy surveys the room like a tiny king on a clay throne. His dark mask gives him a serious look, his fluffy chest is white, and his huge front paws rest on a bit of dry soil. Around him, a cluttered room with baskets, blankets and slippers waits for his decision.

Saint Bernard puppies are bundles of fur and big paws, and they will soon outgrow a pot like this. Their size means that housing, bedding and training need to be planned early. A giant breed puppy needs room to stretch out, and its bones and joints grow best with moderate exercise and a diet made for large breeds. Your vet can recommend the right plan and monitor growth.

Soil and houseplants, meanwhile, are not meant for tasting. Fertilizers and some plants can be harmful to dogs, so keep your pup away from plant pots, and call your vet if your dog eats something it should not have.

This pup has apparently decided the pot is a throne. He sits quite still, looking more dignified than any puppy should have a right to be. A dusting of soil clings to his paws, and he looks completely unbothered, as if being a perfectly proper pot plant is a role he was born to play. Around him the room keeps moving along, and he sits there, calm and magnificent, ready for whatever comes next.
