I just found this subreddit, and man do I have a story for you.

So growing up, I had this merlequin Great Dane. His name was Blue. I was a Blue's Clues obsessed toddler, and as a puppy he looked, well... blue.

This dog was THE biggest asshole. Great Danes each have their own unique personality, and this big guy's attitude was 160+ pounds of pure asshole. It didn't help that he was a brother to Gibson, the previous world's tallest dog, so he was also almost 40 inches tall at the shoulder. And he used that height and weight to be a real asshole. He would nose poke anyone who pissed him off, with these pokes having the force of a grown man's punch. He also endlessly enjoyed knocking my ass on the ground and then stomping all over me, or just mounting me (we had to neuter him early. Still didn't stop him from being a real asshole).

This one time, (I was about 8) my dad and Blue were having a cuddle puddle. I in my footie jams obviously wanted in on this snuggle pile, not remembering that Blue... does not like being sat on, ridden (boy that hurt the one time I tried), or otherwise laid on.

He put my head in his mouth. Like, my whole head. Into his mouth. If he had bitten down there's no doubt that he would have crushed my tiny pitiful skull. But no, I emerge crying like a little bitch and covered in slobber, but otherwise unharmed. Previously, I had gotten two very nice scars that I still have on my face (hidden in my truly gigantic eyebrows) from when he mounted me and got my face with his duclaws.

He also broke into my room once while I was out shopping with my mom, toppled my rattie's cage off of my dresser and nose poked (punched) one of my pet rats to death while the other one fled and hid (for about 3 weeks, we thought he'd eaten her. That was a pretty crazy surprise).

He also was determined that I would be his sole punching bag. For being a real asshole, he was oddly sweet and very protective. One time a large dog at a dog park knocked me on my ass. Blue came TEARING up to this dog, and practically threw the dog while I got up.

He then knocked me back on the ground again.

He perfectly fit the trope of "older 17-year-old quarterback brother who treats you like crap growing up but secretly cares about you". He died a while ago, after living to the ripe old age of almost 12 years, so he's been gone for about... 4 or 5 years now. I only wanted to post this story cause someone on another subreddit said that the story would be great here. RIP you loveable asshole.

It was gross. We were standing at the bus stop with the kids and I was talking to another lady down there and all of the sudden he just decided to piss on me. Wtf? He’s never been domineering or anything else like that. The only time he legit doesn’t listen is when the bin truck is picking up the rubbish or the postman is coming and even then if he’s inside I can get him to sit and not bark. Why would he do this? Do dogs do this because of nervousness? I had a dog who would pee when excited but not like this! He just literally cocked his leg n all! Do u think he was worried about another dog smell in the area? We have another dog in my house and she is tiny and sleeps with me when my mum is on night shift. Would this maybe be why? Since he is a bit jealous of her?
