Presley, a two-year-old boy, has earned the moniker “a real-life Scooby Doo” because he rushes to his owner Sian Barrett for a comforting hug at the first sign of fear.
Presley, who weighs 13 and a half stone, is allegedly scared of smaller dogs and would hide when comforted by another dog, according to Sian, 47, from Oldbury, West Midlands.
The colossal dog even takes around a cushion in his jaws that he uses as a COMFORT BLANKET to prevent him from feeling frightened at home.
Presley is unquestionably a real-life Scooby Doo since he is terrified of everything, according to Sian. He’s constantly running away from smaller canines, so I’ve had to start hiding the plastic bags from him.
Presley once ran away from me while I was walking him in the park because a West Highland Terrier, much smaller than him, startled him.
“Presley wouldn’t leave the house again until the other dog went and he was sure he was safe. He is a 38-inch man at the shoulder, yet his anger doesn’t match his bulk.”
Everything in the family’s home, including the vacuum and plastic bags, terrifies the gentle giant Presley.
He is such a shy dog, said Sian, that anytime I take out plastic bags, I have to leave the room. He despises them, and the sound of the plastic rustling frightens him.
Presley weighs 85 kilograms, so I can’t lift him, yet my spouse labels him a huge wimp and a spoiled pet.
Presley’s soft demeanor, according to Sian, a mother-of-two who owns the pet store Langley Pet Supplies, is due to the fact that she has kept him since birth and her little mutt views her as a mother figure.
Presley has been displayed at Crufts as a superb specimen of the Great Dane breed, but what always charms visitors is his loving disposition.
Sian has joined the Facebook group Great Danes UK, which already has over 5,000 members and is rapidly expanding. The organization organizes regional gatherings and donates to canine charities across the nation.
