Big, bigger, Marlow: 30-kilo puppy turns his mistress into a plaything
Charleston (South Carolina/USA) - This sight evokes great emotions! The physical characteristics of dogs are naturally rooted in their breed. The following story from the USA is about quite a "hunk" . A massive lap dog has caused quite a stir there. "Newsweek" reported.
Despite her tender 23 years, Belle Fortson from Charleston (South Carolina) is already very experienced in dealing with animals.
Her one and only is named Marlow and is a five-month-old mixed-breed puppy - and he has it all, in the truest sense of the word!
He is a cross between two of the largest dog breeds of all: a Bernese mountain dog and a St. Bernard, which, according to the owner, was the result of an unplanned litter.
Worth knowing: St. Bernards reach an impressive height of around 76 centimetres when fully grown, with a fighting weight of over 80 kilograms, while Bernese Mountain Dogs weigh slightly less. Accordingly, "little" Marlow is already a 32-kilo colossus at just five months old, as a clip on the lady's TikTok channel from the end of November proves.
"Can't pick him up on his own": Owner completely overwhelmed by her own puppy
For petite Belle Fortson, who herself measures just 1.62 meters, her oversized furry friend is no cause for concern - quite the opposite:
"It was clear that Marlow was going to be a big dog, I don't know how big he is, but when he stands, he's almost as tall as me," the 23-year-old confessed to Newsweek.
Curious: The weighty puppy apparently sees himself as a real lap dog, as he always seeks physical contact with his owner.
The dog's mother confirmed that Marlow climbs on her, lies on her and sits on her, which was also completely unexpected for her. Fortson had already had several dogs that were just as affectionate, but Marlow was completely different. He barked at her until she hugged him or let him sit on her lap.
In the social media, the "couple" has become an animal hit overnight and has taken the hearts of internet users by storm. Whether Marlow will still be prancing around on his tender mistress in a year's time remains to be seen ...
