Great Danes make ideal family pets.

Great Dane
These small horses — no, wait huge dogs — have a ton of loyal human fans because of their lap-dog personalities packaged into a large dog body. These dogs love to cuddle and play, and have easy-going dispositions that will make them welcome playmates for any infant.

Do beware, they’re big pups and are happiest when touching a human, so keep an eye on them to ensure that they understand a grown human lap is different than an infant’s lap.
