2. Newfoundland

Newfies are gigantic dogs that can weigh up to 150 pounds. There are many stories about them saving people during World War II. Because they have water-repellent coats and webbed feet, they were experts at saving people from shipwrecked boats. They also helped soldiers fight through the harsh blizzards by hauling supplies and ammunition for them.

Now, after this description, you might think that a Newfoundland is a tough dog, but in reality, these big pups are really sweet-tempered and love to spend their time with people. They are real nannies at heart and adore “taking care” of kids and playing with them. They are really careful with the little ones and can watch them for the entire day.
