Can you even believe how big these good boys are?! We're talking about Irish Wolfhounds. These pups are almost the size of a horse, but with the adorable demeanor of a dog that we know and love. Originally bred to drag enemies off of their horses in battle and to hunt big game, these babies are just show-stoppers now. If you are a millennial, like myself, you can't help but think you're looking directly at Falkor from The Neverending Story whenever you come face-to-face with an Irish Wolfhound. What's the best part about these giant dogs? Most of them still think they're lap dogs. Can you imagine? This giant creature wanting to give you kisses and lick your face and curl up on your lap, even though they take up the entire couch on their own! I don't think we can think of anything more wholesome. We hope you enjoy the cute Irish Wolfhound photos below!
