Giant breed dogs catch flak for their clumsy nature. They'll get into the trash, leave puddles of drool on the floor, cut off your circulation in the middle of the night when they sneak onto the bed -- but it's all out of love, right?

Sorry, purse dogs, these slobbery gentle giants boast bigger hearts -- literally.
