St. Bernards forever !!
(don’t have one now, but grew up with one, the most wonderful lovable doggie ever)
I never had a St Bernard either, I know they’re totally harmless... but if a town bans them... well, I wonder how many criminals/sex offenders/illegals they have wondering about?
If you sit on the floor, your Saint will come over and sit next to you. Eye contact is almost level.
Home alone, you can bare your soul to your dear friend and confessor. The dog will tilt his head as if to say "Go on - tell me more".
At the appropriate moment, your canine psychiatrist will put all in proper perspective. He will yawn at your boring tale of human frailty.
