Once A Lap Dog, Always A Lap Dog: 35+ Pawsitively Hilarious Big Dogs That Still Believe They're Small Puppies

We grew up with five dogs as a kid, all of them Golden Retriever-sized or larger. So we can tell you for certain that big dogs never stop believing that they fit in your lap. We don't have the heart to tell them otherwise, so we just suffer under the massive amount of floof and drool that comes with them. It's a small price to pay for loving a big dog, and we're happy to pay it.

That's exactly what these big dogs are doing in this post - they may have grown a bit larger, but their belief that they're still tiny puppies remains unshakable. You'll find yourself in stitches as you witness their delusional determination to be lap dogs, which to us is nothing short of endearing and lovable. So get ready to laugh, snuggle, and revel in the hilarity of these adorably delusional doggos who remind us that once a lap dog, always a lap dog!

Mam, that's not a dog, that's a horse! We're not sure how this small woman isn't being crushed by this absolute unit of a dog, but we love this photo (as long as she isn't suffering under there).

One of our favorite things is when big dogs get picked up and carried like the big babies they are. Don't be fooled, this dog is probably really heavy, which means that whoever is holding it must be super strong!
