It always cracks me up when I see big dogs frightened or confused by much, much smaller animals.
Just take this giant dog for example. When he meets a tiny Chihuahua for the very first time, he has no clue what to think. Even though I completely understand that it must be a really weird situation for the big dog, you still just have to laugh!
At just 14 months old, Hugo the great Dane is the exact same way. As you can see, this gentle giant more like a curious puppy than the brave beast people probably expect him to be and nowhere is that more obvious than in the following adorable video posted to YouTube by owner Kerry Pitter.
Hugo may be big, but he gets confused very quickly when his mom brings a 4-day-old gosling into their home. Like many first encounters, when Pitter reveals the baby bird hiding behind the box, the great Dane has no clue what to make of the tiny creature named Darcy.
After all, he's never seen a gosling before and he probably hasn't seen many other birds, either. Luckily, instead of barking or trying to attack the strange newborn, Hugo is very gentle and keeps a safe distance, so he doesn't frighten Darcy.
It may be early in their relationship, but something tells me that these two are going to make the best of friends!
