My sister wrote me a breathless e-mail (yes, it’s possible) today about her new favorite breed of puppy, the Leonberger.  Originally bred by a German king to resemble lions, these adorable puppies grow up to be 120lb beasts.  I chose this video to introduce you to them (assuming you, like me, hadn’t heard of them before) because it shows both sizes. It’s from a great series about the two dogs that includes such great titles as “Billy & Piper ignore the birdies” and “Billy & Piper Interacting.”

Oh, and as a bonus, here is something inadvisable to do with your Leonberger puppy!
