My dogs' relationships are built in different ways. Someone is friends, someone unites to make a mess in the garden, and someone frankly does not love each other. Yes, the latter also happens. But if we talk about Stepan, we can safely say that he is everyone's favourite. Big and kind. These are the words that fully characterise Stepan. In fact, he's bigger than any of my other dogs. At the same time, he is completely non-conflict. Of course he can stand up for himself, but I've never seen him get angry or aggressive. Pointing to the bulliser in the place, Stepan immediately forgets about the conflict.

Small dogs like to sleep next to Stepan. Probably the presence of such a large and strong friend nearby creates a safe space for them. In these photos you can see Stepan and a small Biscuit Seal. Stepan doesn't refuse protection to anyone. If one of the dogs presses against him, it is likely that something has disturbed their confidence. But Stepan will fix everything.

I love this big dog too. I love big dogs in general. Unfortunately, lately I have encountered a problem that will no longer allow me to have them in the future - my back. All is well, as long as they are healthy. But if they get sick, I don't have enough strength to put them in the car and take them to the vet clinic.
