Family dogs

English mastiffs love their people, they want to be near them all the time.  If we don't let them up on the bed with us they will pace and whine.  They are gentle and loving dogs.  The kids can play around them with zero worry. ( *note: Never allow children to jump or ride them just because they are big!!).   We never have any worry with the kids and these gentle giants.   They are not just a pet , they are part of the family.
