Talk about real men…..and it takes a real man to appreciate a real dog…no matter what size…because in dogs….size doesn’t count!
I LOVE IT! Cracks me up! Thanks for sharing this.
Oh I am so glad to see you all posted this video! The man in the money shot is my husband and those are two of my friends husbands and they love our small dogs!
Glad you found us.
Any thoughts from the guys on the prez-elect’s girly dog comment?
LOVE this! Geesh, if your manliness rests on the size of your dog… well, doesn’t say much about you. Same goes for guys who won’t neuter their male dogs because they’d feel ‘too bad’ (not about possible unwanted puppies or aggressive behaviour, but about taking their dog’s butchness).
