Rottweiler
Loyal. confident. Yours.
Here's what nobody tells you about Rottweilers: they think they're invisible. A hundred-plus pounds of black-and-mahogany muscle will try to wedge behind your legs when the vacuum comes out.

The Rottweiler experience
You know you're a Rottweiler owner when...
●The Rottie rumble, that low, grumbly vocalization that sounds threatening to strangers but is literally just your dog talking to you about dinner.
●Sitting ON your feet. Not near them. On them. Full weight. Every single time you stand still for more than three seconds.
●The butt wiggle. No tail, no problem, the entire back half of the dog just vibrates with happiness when you walk through the door.
●That suspicious side-eye they give any stranger who approaches you, followed by immediate tail-nub wagging once you say it's okay.
●The head in your lap. Not gently placed. Dropped. Like a bowling ball wrapped in velvet, right onto your thigh while you're trying to eat.
