Prepare To Swoon Over These Cute Photos Of Tibetan Mastiffs, The Gentlest Good Bois
If you've never heard of Tibetan Mastiff dogs, I'm sorry. They're amazing. Let me delight you with some fun facts about this fluffy dog. They're ancient—like literally ancient. It is believed they originated with the nomadic cultures of Tibet, China, Mongolia, India, and Nepal. This very, very large dog breed belongs to the mastiff family, and the local Tibetan tribes still use them today to protect sheep from wolves, leopards, bears, large mustelids, and tigers (oh my!).
On average, these pups weigh 55–90 kg (121–198 lb), but some can weigh upwards of 115 kg (254 lb). In the western world, they're social, domesticated dogs best suited for homes with families who are well-versed in dog care and have yards for them to run in.

Totally, I aim for this nightly.
Fun Fact: Tibetan Mastiffs like to sleep during the day and tend to be more alert in the evenings and at night when their instincts tell them they have livestock to protect. Congratulations, you're a cow.
