Ya know, when I first got into danes, everyone called them the Gentle Giant. Over the years, more dane related attacks/fatalities have occured, and people are starting to fear them more and more. They've exploded in popularity and of course, we all know what happens to a breed then.
Not to mention, the CDC list them as one of the top 10 "most dangerous" breeds.
So, as I usually do from time to time, I am looking for great dane related topics in the news and find this gem of an article.
Great Danes! The Origin Of America's Greatest College Mascot Revealed
The University of Albany, SUNY may not have bears roaming campus like Baylor, but no other college in America has the Great Dane for a mascot. Do you know what a Great Dane is? A lumbering, slobbering, aggressive dog of war that towers over most short people. That's right, I said dog of war. Wake Forest's Demon Deacon was regarded as the most frightening college mascot because he reminds students of the looming ravages of time; UAlbany can clobber that argument in the face with this: The Great Dane was bred to help Germans, the formerly genocide happy people of Europe, kill things!
Gee, thanks asshole.
Many dogs were bred to hunt/kill things, that doesn't exactly make them homicidal human eaters. But hey, thanks for making such an ignorant lump of statements.
And dog of war? Yeah, decades ago. Where they HELPED their humans, not devoured them.
Lumbering, slobbering and aggressive? Well, at least two of those adjectives are correct.
I've had a really bad headache this evening, so maybe I'm just being sensitive but this really rubbed me the wrong way.
