Woman's Rescue Dog Doesn't Know How Big He Is | The Dodo

[@ladydais]

I think that is a Maremma Sheepdog, they get BIG, not as big as a Turkish Boz Shepard. I’m glad he’s helping with your health as well, you saved him and now he’s saving you back.

[@rorifrongillo6763]

It's either Mareema or Great Pyrenees. I dog-sit one (a Pyrenees) regularly ❤.

[@verybighomer]

Found in Italy and being very protective in connection with his size, that does look indeed a lot like a Maremma Sheepdog.

[@davemeers37]

They come into our lives for a reason ❤❤❤

[@jesmey4902]

Yep, Maremma for sure 😊 In the last 17 years I have had Kangal, Kars, Akbash, Mastin Espagnol and Sarplaninac, once a Maremma is still a dream of me 😅

[@Anakalia-iq1vu]

We have a Maremma Bardino Mix as a rescue from Italy. Big, beautiful, extremely intelligent and playful, perfect with other dogs and our cats. A dream dog if he has a garden, nature and something to do. No dog for obedience but a perfect partner if he respects you. We love him very much! ❤

[@KyleB_RCR8]

Yep. Its a big breed. A friend brought home a “black lab” puppy…it was a great dane a year later

All he needs is a dog cart. I think it's called that. It's small, like a pony cart but, well, for dogs.😉 And, isn't it amazing that he can alert you to your seizures? What a true blessing!!!

Looks likes a Great Pyrenees. Sweet dogs, working dogs.

[@SaeroneScean]

More like a Maremma ?

[@DestroyerOfLiberals]

Either that or Maremma. Some of the best breeds in any case.

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Neither really suited to urban living due to their working temperament.

[@maximusspartan7409]

Our great Pyrenees passed a couple years ago, she was the sweetest, most kind dog I ever knew. I miss her a lot.

She found him in Italy so Maremma

[@tansywelsh1636]

We had a beautiful German Shepherd about 30 years ago. Never had a Shep before. He was beautiful inside and out, loving, smart and wonderful with kids and other animals. He was my soul dog. When he turned 2 or 3, he started having seizures. Always happened in the middle of the night or when he was sleeping. They we bad, he'd lose control of his bowels and pee. One time his tooth got stuck in our footboard of our bed. Anyway, we had him on 2 different kinds of medication. Eventually, by the time he was 7, the medication wasn't controlling them at all anymore. We checked into food or treats and even questioned our yard and the environment where we lived to see if we could figure out why he kept getting them and why they were getting closer together. I loved Jake with all my heart. One weekend he had 25 seizures from Saturday until Monday morning. We made the decision at that time, to have him put down. Just watch the seizures and if they get closer together. Quality of life is important. I look at pictures of him still and cry. It seems as though they have a lot more things today then they did 30 years ago. Seven years was not enough time with my Jake, but I'm thankful for every day I had. Your dog has the same old soul look in his eyes. He's beautiful, it was meant to be. Thank you for saving him.

[@jillsy2815]

I think the girl is the one who had the seizures and the dog noticed and alerted her to them. 🐾💕

[@janetmarshall7171]

Brandon is one fluffy doggy!! How did Eliana find this treasure?? He is so furry and just beautiful inside and outside!! Just One bundle of LOVE!! What A HAIR RAISING STORY!!

[@ericbassett6389]

He’s absolutely beautiful. You are so lucky to have a friend as fluffy as he is.❤❤

[@johntucker5994]

Very sweet story Eliana. You are obviously a special person caring for Brandon and your other pets. I wish you the best in dealing with your seizures.

[@vaughnmojado8637]

There’s magic in big dogs. But pure joy in new baby dogs. Enjoy every minute you have with your babies.

[@MaryCoffey-pn9zv]

He looks like a Great Pyrenees Mareema mix. Both are very large working dogs. They are happiest when they have a job to do. They are also fiercely loyal and will always guard and protect their family. They are amazing dogs. You are very lucky to have him.

[@alignmentunknown3156]

That's a Maremma. I have one. Theyre great dogs. Very quirky, but he follows you because he's likely guarding you. Theyre bred to guard livestock against coyotes, wolves, bears etc.

[@GurinderSingh-qf6km]

"The reason I had absolutely no idea he would get this big is I found him when he was just a puppy." Me too sis. Me too.

[@MKrausse]

He looks like a Great Pyrenees, and acts as loyal and loving as they usually are. I have 2 Great Pyrenees, and they are wonderful guard dogs, for our livestock, and for the family. They can smell your emotions and feelings, so be aware if you have unwelcome guests at your house, they will guard you aggressively!

WOW - he was clearly supposed to be YOUR dog all along. The fact that an untrained dog was able to sense & alert you is truly amazing, I hope he’s allowed to be your service animal as he’s already qualified for the position & gets on well with the rest of the team!! 🤍☁️

[@debraeuler1674]

SHE is his job. Seriously, they are great family dogs if they're allowed to do their jobs. Which is watch over their families. At one point she says "watching the neighbors again?" He's guarding the house. My Pyr/Anatolian mix does the same thing.
