Human for scale of the size of this Great Pyrenees. I never knew they got this big!
Lily is my Great Pyrenees rescue. Left side day of adoption and afraid of everything @ 18 months old. Right side 6 years later in-charge of the world.
Double Dewclaws are so common in Great Pyrenees that it became breed standard to have them. The dewclaws are also not vestigial and do serve an ancestral purpose of helping trek through snow
TIL in 1942 the BBC issued an appeal for postcards and photographs of the coast of Europe from Norway to the Pyrenees. It was actually an intelligence gathering exercise, they were sent to the War Office to help determine a suitable location (Normandy) for the eventual D-Day landings of 1944. bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pre…
Hey everyone! I was wondering if your guys great pyrenees talk? Like how huskies are known to respond and talk loudly (almost like fit throwing or talking back), does your great pyrenees do the same? Our great pyr mix puppy never stops talking? Video of him chatting! v.redd.it/9edjvlv9vut41

The ultimate job of a Great Pyrenees, a puppy seat
This is Cato, the husky/Pyrenees mutt and love of my life
In memory of Luna the Great Pyrenees, the best girl ever. We got her from a shelter, she was said to be 5. Our vet said more like 8. My heart sank because giant breed lifespan is 8-10. But we had 4 great years of her in our life. Now she's guarding Heaven from coyotes, possums, and armadillos.
The Swiss Alps rightfully get a lot of attention on this year, but wow are the Pyrenees stunning!
This girl carried me across the Pyrenees. Here is a picture of me giving her some love in Le Perthus 🤙🏻
Study finds microplastics in the French Pyrenees mountains. It's estimated the particles could have traveled from 95km away, but that distance could be increased with winds. Findings suggest that even pristine environments that are relatively untouched by humans could now be polluted by plastics. arstechnica.com/science/2…

TIL the island of Faisans in the middle of the Bidasoa river, on the border of Spain and France, switches countries every six months. This was agreed to as part of the signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659. This sort of joint sovereignty is called a condominium. bbc.com/news/stories-4281…
This was my boy Zeus; I had him for a long time but due to some financial issues I couldn’t keep him. But we gave him to the owners, who own a farm, and he’s with his family! I’ll post some of his elder Pyrenees’, but this was him at not even a year old yet! v.redd.it/wh8f7d7vjyp41
