Gentle Giant: Humongous Newfoundland Plays With Tiny 4-Week-Old Puppies

A Newfoundland playing outside with puppies.

Newfoundlands are typically pretty massive dogs, but even they have a puppy phase. One kennel caught the most adorable footage of some of their pooches highlighting the size difference between grown-ups and babies within this breed! In their clip, a two-year-old pooch named Gus Gus was playing outside with several four-week-old puppies. He looked so large compared to these teeny critters!

In the sweet video, Gus Gus and the little pups were running around in the grass, wagging their tails with enthusiasm. Since the adult Newfoundland was so much bigger than his puppy playmates, he was careful not to get too rough with them. They all seemed to be having the time of their lives as they chased each other around!

Viewers totally loved this delightful footage of the giant Newfoundland running around with his puppy friends. On social media, the video has received over five million views!

“Big floof playing with little floofs,” wrote one user.

In the comments section, the dogs’ owner clarified that Gus Gus isn’t actually related to the little ones. However, they do sometimes refer to the bigger dog as the pups’ uncle. At the end of the video, you’ll see their mom wander into frame.

Gus Gus and the pups live at Notta Bear Newfoundlands, whose name is a pretty hilarious joke about how these huge pooches can be mistaken for bears! This kennel provides a variety of services, which include breeding and training. So, yes, that means you could potentially adopt one of their little fluffballs!

Notta Bear also keeps a number of therapy dogs on staff to stop by nursing homes, cancer treatment centers, and more. We have to imagine that getting a visit from one of these gentle giants would make anyone’s day a little brighter!
