Well as the owner of Mortimer, I must tell you that he loves to give kisses, and when you get kissed by that large a tongue, you definitely need a towel To go with it! :D
I never feel alone with him, and he is the best guard dog to take anywhere, don't even have to lock the car. He truly understands everything I say, or at least I like to think so. He is our 3rd Dane, and owns us completely. I have friends who can't understand having a dog live in the house, I feel sorry for those people! :D
