Speaking of dogs

For those of you who are fans of 'Fang' in the Harry Potter movies, he's not a Boarhound (which seems to be another name for a Great Dane). Fang was played by several Neopolitan mastiffs.

I love mastiffs, of whatever type. They're big, drooly babies that prefer being on your sofa than out in a yard. I can't afford to keep one (and I can't in an apartment anyway!), but I hope to, someday. They need big houses, big cars, lots of drool rags, and lots of love...they're not fighting dogs, they just look intimidating. They were bred to scare intruders by their immense and 'ugly' appearance, but they're family dogs--although at 150lbs, they probably shouldn't be around tiny children or the elderly. Think of a rottweiler magnified with wrinkles. :)
