My absolute favorite dog breed of all time is the Newfoundland. Gentle giants with a bark that could frighten a lion. One that weighed 175 pounds came into my work today and made a b-line RIGHT FOR ME, dragging it's owner 7 feet across the floor before it promptly bowled into me and crawled into my lap! XD I was in complete and total heaven! Once I get my car, I plan to get into Newfoundland rescue and volunteer at a shelter not far from where I live.
