@@terryv Dogs aren't stupid, they know what is alive and what is a toy. Mainly because they have an acute sense of smell.

[@Prymelady]

@@perpetualbystander4516 dogs are indeed highly intelligent but it's not always the case that they know the difference. Why do you think so many dog toys resemble animals that look like prey?I don't know if anyone would want to chance it with an animal that needs to be in water to survive.

We have a koi pond in the backyard. Our previous dog loved to stick her tongue in the water. The koi would swim to surface and nibble on it. They were so used to each other. It seemed to be a favorite game.

[@lesyeuxsansvisage1157]

He just wants his buddies to come out and play, and I’m sure they want him to come in and swim. Such a tender souls 🥰 and the way he lovingly keeps them safe, it just shows how much love and concern he holds. They certainly have a good friend in Ben! Considering how smart fish are, I’m sure they look forward to seeing him every day too.

[@MsPixi66]

Aww the little kiss he gave the fish was so sweet what a gentle giant.

[@5pringheeljack]

Our 90 pound Lab is like this with every other animal he meets. He just can't understand why squirrels, rabbits, kittens, birds, fish, all get frightened when he runs up to make friends. You can physically see the sadness in his eyes and he whimpers. He's such a sweet soul.

[@batsonelectronics]

my black lab was the same way. He lived to 17, I lost him in 2010. Labs are such great friends, he always was there to cheer me up when I needed it. Every human needs a Lab in their life, we would be so much happier as a species if we did. You just can't be sad with a lab around, they won't let you.

Hello

[@streghewitch77]

It's that extreme gentle grabbing of the stuffed fish that did it for me! I have always done rescue and rehabilitation for extremely large dogs and it amazes me that there are so many people out there that don't comprehend just how gentle large and extra large dogs really are! My mom keeps little teacup dogs and Chihuahua like dogs. I was moving cross country one year and had to stay at her house one night, with my two full size Dobermans. I brought the crates in the house and put them in the crates till I could get settled in. Her little Chihuahua ran up to my big male who stood over close to 6 ft when he stood on his hind legs. That little chihuahua started screaming at Diablo and Diablo was towering above him just looking at him like dude what's your problem! I got settled in and it was time to let them go into the backyard. My mother was cringing because she knew they were going to have to run through the house to head out the back door. I told her just open the back door and I opened the crates and they shot out of those crates straight out the back door. My mother was amazed her jaw dropped wide open. she said oh my God they're so graceful! I said what did you think they were going to destroy everything between this room and the backyard? She said yes I was really nervous about it I've never had a dog that large in the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I was thrilled that I was able to teach my mother something new even though she's 68 years old. I was even more thrilled to see how thrilled she was to learn that big dogs aren't scary

[@emordnilap4747]

That's cute. It is interesting how most of the time very big dogs are pretty chill. Probably because they're social animals, that don't need to fight for anything, and are big enough that not much is seen as a threat. Unless they're given reason to be afraid, they usually aren't.

[@thekidwhodraws]

Yeah I have a 150 pound Newfie who is incredibly gentle and soft with everyone she meets. She loves children and is incredibly patient and soft with them

[@Prymelady]

What an amazing dog. Unfortunately, I don't know how smart it was to give him a toy that looks very similar to the fish in the tank. He might just start pulling them out of the tank, seeing that he's tall enough to reach.

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Just commented same. Kind of stupid move, imo.

[@Prymelady]

@@jonnylumberjack6223 I completely understand wanting to do it. Even though dogs are very intelligent, you just don't know if they will understand the difference. Hopefully if it ever happens, they will be gentle enough not to hurt them and it's caught fast enough that they don't suffocate.

[@factsdonthavefeelingsbeawa2953]

I just commented a similar comment. It's poor training. He also appears to be needing a friend. And possibly would be a good idea to get him another furry friend to play with. That he and the other furry friend can play together... and over time both sit and watch over the fish.

[@americanpatriot7247]

I am with all of your comments about this. Will he pull other fish out of the tank now to play with him, and does he need a friend? Danes don't live long. Mine only lived 6.5 years. I had to put her down due to heart issues as she was deteriorating. That is common with Danes. Usually only 6-8 year's lifespan; I just didn't want to face that again. Dog's lives are already too short. My girl was also a gentle giant. R.I.P.

[@josephfdent]

..and when he accidently pulls one out and finds out that it's actually tasty 😂
