They have incredibly big necks and chests that you'd probably have to special order one.  I don't think dragging you would hurt. I really don't think much can hurt them. They are massively built.  I think they could probably drag a small car without hurting themselves.Nah, they just aren't intimidating dogs. Even to people who don't like dogs. They don't really bark or growl, they always have a goofy smile on their face. They just don't radiate any hostility at all.Well, it was really my fault, I was urging him to jump on me when he knocked me out, and the nose was when I was trying to teach him to box with his front paws.  And I think they sit on you when they think you are in trouble because they think they are keeping you warm. He was pretty good with cats.  When he was younger, when I would come home on holidays and bring my cat, he would sometimes chase her, but mostly because he just wanted to sniff her, which she didn't like, so would run.  But then sometimes she would actually sleep on top of him, which he didn't mind. And then later on, when I had 3 cats, one of mine has this weird love of dogs. And she would constantly harass him  by cuddling up to his face, licking him. He put up with that. Also when he was younger, he had sort of a girlfriend. A neighbor's female dog would come over and visit him. He was pretty much just confused by it, because she was hyper and would run circles around him. And steal his bones. I mean, really, they just have no agression in them at all. I think it must have been bred out of them.Yeah, I have had trouble adjusting to such small dogs. I had Great Pyreneeses when I was growing up, which aren't super-heavy, but 130 lbs or so and a lot taller.  So having 80 lbs dogs is something of a shock.But anyway, I don't think any other dogs are like Newfoundlands, they are famous for their good nature. I mean, you could poke a cat in the stomach with your finger maybe twice before they hiss at you or claw you.  With an average dog, it will take longer, but eventually they will growl at you or do something to tell you to knock it off. You could do that to a Newfoundland all day and it wouldn't lose its temper.</blockquote>
