Great Dane Is Hilariously Afraid of a Tiny Stuffed Reindeer

Our pets can have hilarious reactions to things they’re not used to, even if those items are completely harmless. Leopold is a Great Dane who, like most of them, has no idea how big he really is. So when he spots a tiny stuffed reindeer his sister left on the floor for him, what he sees is a giant reindeer waiting to take him out!
Watch and listen as Leopold decides whether to challenge the stuffie or stay where he is. Even with his humans’ encouragement, he’s not sure that he could take on the cute little guy. His hesitation reminds us that even the greatest of dogs can be the biggest babies!
We cracked up when Leopold pushed his mom like he was saying, “You go first!” Mom shared in the caption, “Nothing like a giant pup trying to push you in the door first because the reindeer is scary, LOL!”
Poor guy forgets how big he really is!

He may outweigh that tiny reindeer by more than 100 pounds, but nobody told him he was supposed to be the scary one!
