I'm an animal lover, a dog's best friend, and not at all shy about approaching complete strangers to ask if I can meet their puppy. And Naples is about as dog-friendly a city as I've seen, up there with San Francisco and Carmel, California. And you might think that, due to the heat and humidity, furry dogs and huge dogs might be passed up for purse poodles and near-hairless breeds, such as an Italian greyhound. Looks just like someone took a shrink ray to a full-sized greyhound. Not so. But so far, I've seen three of the biggest dogs I've ever encountered (and I've seen some pony-sized Great Danes and English Mastiffs!). And the Newfies were certainly big and furry.
Enough with my dog history, and on with the serious business of cuteness.
At 19 months, this male Newfoundland ("Newfie") is still a puppy, and not even full size yet
The Yorkie comparison size test. The Newfie also had a littermate that was just as large, but black and white mottled. Never seen one of those!

This little sweetheart is only 6 months old. Her family just rescued her from the humane society. She had been left there because the owners decided that they didn't like her haircut. <hashtag Naples>.
