Whether he’s leaning into you for pets, curling up for a nap, or stretching out on the couch, he loves to snuggle and simply be part of the family. While he enjoys running and playing outside, he’s just as content spending the day lounging around the house.Like many Great Danes, Kano can be a little clumsy and doesn’t always realize just how big he is, which only adds to his charm.
