This huge Newfoundland’s name is Kuzco, and, unlike most other dogs, he apparently enjoys going to the vet. That’s probably because he gets so much affection when he’s there! Judging by Ari’s video, the vet also loves it when Kuzco comes in for a visit. This woman looked totally blissful while hugging the pooch as though he were a giant teddy bear. We’re honestly a little jealous!

“When we say we love the vet we’re not joking,” Ari wrote in the caption of her post.
In the comments section, the dog owner added that Kuzco doesn’t quite realize what a massive pooch he really is.
“But in true gentle giant he doesn’t know how big he is,” she wrote.

Over 43 million viewers have watched this video on social media! Commenters were pretty impressed by the Newfoundland’s size.
“That’s a bear,” wrote one user. “You won’t convince me otherwise.”

Another person joked, “Whose horse is that?”

A third added, “To bathe him, he goes to the car wash.”

We can’t imagine anything better than getting a friendly hug from this big, fluffy Newfoundland. It looks like being a vet certainly has its perks!
