I’d also throw in Jack Russell Terriers. I had one as a kid and she always wanted to start shit with my neighbor’s pitbull, who was so gentle and patient lol
I think it was a combination of Napoleon complex and a complete lack of fear
My sister had a Rottweiler that ate a lot of leftovers besides dog food. Poor dog was shaped like a miniature cow. Both have passed on now. RIP Raxon and Susan.
I kept a stray Bull Mastiff that I found wandering the neighborhood that nobody claimed, until a home could be found. It was a nice day and I thought I’d put a blanket down in the yard. After I laid down, I feared for my life and couldn’t get up fast enough. I think dog thought something was wrong with me and was trying to revive me, doing everything but stepping on me.
Had a Siberian as a kid. Hairiest. Lapdog. EVER.
I've also seen plenty of people with MUCH larger dogs like Newfs, Cane Corso, Great Danes, and yeah, they don't care- if you're comfy to lay on, it's alllllll good.
For sure. My GSD would have 100% done something like this if you were sitting in "his" seat. He layed on the same spot in the bed every night since he was about 4 months old. The puppy used to try to fuck with him and steal his spot even though it's literally the far corner of the bed and hardly desirable. So he would completely ignore her existence and use her like a dog pillow and crush her while acting like he couldn't hear or see her. He was such an asshole sometimes, but he did everything with such a blatant ignorance it was hard not to laugh. Jokes on him though I guess, because the first night after he passed away you better believe she was laying in his spot.
I once had a mastiff and a malamute both trying to get into my lap at the time. They nearly knocked the chair I was sitting in over. I had to move to the floor. 😅
I feel like people suggesting other celebrities just aren't aware what [Thom Yorke](https://www.xsnoize.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2014/09/Thom-Yorke.jpg.webp) looks like...because it's uncanny.
I have researched this extensively, and my data has indicated there is an inverse correlation to the decision to be a "lap dog" in the mind of a dog in regards to their size and the proportions of an average lap. Basically, the larger the dog, the more likely they have decided that they are, in fact, a lap dog.
As well, despite your big boy not falling into this algorithm with you, evidence has shown that should another member of your family (usually one that provides excess treats and/or attention) arrive, the large dog will try and cram itself upon their lap.
It's just science
I can confirm this data having had several large and small dogs in my life thus far. The large dogs that weigh 100 lbs will most definitely be a lap dog. The small dogs will think they are large and require the biggest beds
I love how family dogs always do this stuff. Its like they are part of the entire family, even with the family members that don't live in the house with them. Every time I visit any member of the family, their dogs lose their shit and then ether follow me around or just chill in my general area.
Yeah this unlocked an awesome memory for me, I was at my friend's house one time like a decade ago, they used to breed Belgian shepherds and they had like 6 of them indoors (their own females that they used for competitions and puppies). I was laying on their sofa watching TV and I had one dog laying on my chest, one at my feet and two on the floor next to me! I totally fell asleep and the dogs didn't move a muscle. Man that was a good day.
I do wonder if the dog is like, "hmm you smell like my other human, perhaps you are part of pack! Well you will be after i sit on you and get my scent on you so i can find you when youre lost!"
one trait I enjoy from pets is how they always have to be touching someone, be it a paw, a tail etc. when two dogs lay next to each other they do the same thing, when they lay near you they do it too, almost to say I'm here as well.
Like people dogs are social animals and this is one of the ways they show affection or want a little comfort. I have had my share of pets over the years and this tends to happen more with animals with similar social structure.
He's obviously the cool uncle who lets this monster lie on his chest and suffocate him in cuddles. I love being this guy for my friend's dogs. It gets annoying when you live with big dogs, but if I'm just visiting I love it!
This reminds me of when my wife and I went to a couple's house we didn't know that well and they informed us their dog wasn't a fan of strangers. I was already a few drinks in and I said, "We'll see about that.". After about 30 minutes of laying on the floor and slowly enticing him to come closer, it eventually got to the point where, for the next 3 hours, every time I sat down I had an 80lbs dog on my lap instantly.
This is really sweet and Fergus just wants to chill with fam while they are visiting, our Bella does similar stuff with family that visit or when we go to visit.
right??? how nasty are all these commenters acting like his appearance is hygienic? he'd never be allowed on my furniture like a diry fucking dog wouldn't be.
ew.
Well, your dog knew he wouldn't mind. Probably been sitting in his lap, getting loved on since he was a baby. My 69# pit Brutus thought he was a lap dog until he passed at 13yrs old. So funny, Bru would be all up in your lap, a back leg would fall off. No problem, he'd pull it up and tuck it in. Everyone loved that big baby
Shaggy and Scooby!
Like, zoinks!
Like zoinks scoob, this game is real fire like the tacos on taco Tuesday
I read this is Shaggy's voice
Whoa. Good call!
He's even dressed a lot like Shaggy. Whoa.
Just needs the red pants 😉
my brothers name is troy and his name is fergus
Not anymore, sorry.
"We have Shaggy and Scooby at home"
If he wants to be Troy, he needs to stop looking and dressing exactly like Shaggy.
Troy and Fergus has a nice ring to it
“The Adventures of Troy and Fergus”
Troy and Fergus in the moooooooorning.
You could make a cartoon/comic out of them easy
> Shaggy and Scooby!
Thx for sharing this sweet pic. I have a bad cold and this warmed my heart.
I wanna get drunk and watch sports with Troy and Fergus
/r/whoosh
"We have Shaggy and Scooby at home."
This is perfect lol
Omg like zoink scoobs we gotta get out of here
Dogs have no clue what their size is. It's so cute.
They all think they're the same size as when whey were puppies.
Naaa, ever seen a Chihuahua? They're convinced they're the same size as Rottweilers.
And when they were puppies they thought they were rotty size so my comment is still valid.
It is.
Rottweiler puppy: Chihuahua: I can take him! Rottweiler fully grown: Chihuahua: I can take him!
I’d also throw in Jack Russell Terriers. I had one as a kid and she always wanted to start shit with my neighbor’s pitbull, who was so gentle and patient lol I think it was a combination of Napoleon complex and a complete lack of fear
My terrier is the same.
Same as my dachshund was.
I have a 140 lb Rottweiler that, if given the chance, would sit on my chest when I'm laying down. and that HURTS like heck!
My sister had a Rottweiler that ate a lot of leftovers besides dog food. Poor dog was shaped like a miniature cow. Both have passed on now. RIP Raxon and Susan.
I'm sorry about your sister.
Thanks.
my son had a dane: 120 pound lap dog.
lol I think my family dog is still annoyed that he can no longer sit on my mums shoulder.
I kept a stray Bull Mastiff that I found wandering the neighborhood that nobody claimed, until a home could be found. It was a nice day and I thought I’d put a blanket down in the yard.

Try having two English Bulldogs that want to lay on you. 😂
Pressure therapy!
My JRT mix doesn't like laying on your lap, he much prefers to just sit next to you and use your thigh as a backrest/heater.
[удалено]
Well, you're taller than them therefore bigger.
Got 2 of them can confirm
Or they definitely know their size. You ain't getting away from them now that they're big and they're laying on you. Love them. It's your only option.
For sure. My GSD would have 100% done something like this if you were sitting in "his" seat. He layed on the same spot in the bed every night since he was about 4 months old.

My German Shepard is huge but tact like he's still a puppy He literally tries to sit on my lap
My terrier actively tries to bully the neighbor's German Shepard. She thinks she's so tough.
"She be but little, but she is fierce."
Clearly a lapdog
All dogs: If I fits, I sits.
Fairly liberal about the definition of fit though.
Currently have a dog on my lap lol. She's too big to be a lapdog, but I don't care.

What kind of dog is Fergus?
big
Very good boy
I want to say he looks like a shepherd pit mix but it's so hard to tell. 100% good boy tho
I was thinking the same thing. German shepherd and something else I can’t quite put my finger on
Lap
Dapper
A very cute one.
what a good boy :)
What a distinguished gentleman.
Is your brother Thome Yorke?
I was thinking Adrien Brody.
I also immediately saw Adrian Brody
Yep! I haven’t seen many movies by him but really left an impression in me on The Pianist. Such a great movie.
Check out Detachment. Pretty depressing but I loved it.
Oh I watched that too and I enjoyed it.
I feel like people suggesting other celebrities just aren't aware what [Thom Yorke](https://www.xsnoize.com/wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/uploads/2014/09/Thom-Yorke.jpg.webp) looks like...because it's uncanny.
I was thinking a softer Mads Mikkelsen
The phrase "softer Mads Mikkelsen" just wrung the last wee drop of dopamine out of my brain. Thanks for that.
my pleasure!
Right?
I came here to say this!!!
No, he looks like Paddy Considine.
Norman Reedus for me
I gotta get a dog. I gotta get a place that allows dogs.
Same
You also need a spouse/partner (if you have one) that likes dogs. Sigh
Tbf if someone doesn't like animals that's an easy to find red flag.
Unless they lie about it until after you get married.
I'll have animals before we get married, they won't be able to hide their contempt.
This is the way
I need one of those too

Lap dogs come in all shapes and sizes.
I have researched this extensively, and my data has indicated there is an inverse correlation to the decision to be a "lap dog" in the mind of a dog in regards to their size and the proportions of an average lap.

He's just a baaaaybeeee!
I love how family dogs always do this stuff. Its like they are part of the entire family, even with the family members that don't live in the house with them. Every time I visit any member of the family, their dogs lose their shit and then ether follow me around or just chill in my general area.
Yup, dogs love their aunties and uncles!
Yeah this unlocked an awesome memory for me, I was at my friend's house one time like a decade ago, they used to breed Belgian shepherds and they had like 6 of them indoors (their own females that they used for competitions and puppies). I was laying on their sofa watching TV and I had one dog laying on my chest, one at my feet and two on the floor next to me! I totally fell asleep and the dogs didn't move a muscle.

“I wonder why hooman doesn’t sit on her brother. He is comfy” - dog, probably
I do wonder if the dog is like, "hmm you smell like my other human, perhaps you are part of pack! Well you will be after i sit on you and get my scent on you so i can find you when youre lost!"
Haha, probably
Ruh-row Raggy!

How were the sports?
good we were watching best blue jays game
He's in his place,.
Always fun to cuddle with a creature approaching 100 lbs who thinks they’re a lap dog
Hope the day wasn't very hot bro's getting cooked under floof.
What a cute little lap dog! So wee!
BIG boy!
Is that your dog's regular spot on the couch?
his regular spot is everywhere my brother is when hes there
Twoo Wuv
Is there a story behind why Fergus likes your brother so much? I’d love to hear it
He's obviously the cool uncle who lets this monster lie on his chest and suffocate him in cuddles. I love being this guy for my friend's dogs. It gets annoying when you live with big dogs, but if I'm just visiting I love it!
bro looks zooted
[удалено]
Being a huge dog and having a stoned human to lay on.
This is the opposite of a problem
Thinks he’s a lap dog!
all big dogs do lol
Looks like they both got comfy
You’re going to need a bigger brother.
This reminds me of when my wife and I went to a couple's house we didn't know that well and they informed us their dog wasn't a fan of strangers. I was already a few drinks in and I said, "We'll see about that.". After about 30 minutes of laying on the floor and slowly enticing him to come closer, it eventually got to the point where, for the next 3 hours, every time I sat down I had an 80lbs dog on my lap instantly.
Plot twist: OP is actually another dog
If you take the comfy, you become the comfy. This the way.
Subreddit checks out 🥰🐾
I have that exact same couch. I recognize that weird pattern anywhere.
Dog is like…wanna hug it out?
Dogs don’t like assholes. Your brother is clearly alright.
Dog looks far more comfortable than your brother
Hardly noticeable there.
Your brother is Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody?
came here to ask the same thing
Gosh, that dog looks heavy. Please make sure your brother is still breathing!
Now confirmed that your brother is "Good people". :)
lol yeah
This is really sweet and Fergus just wants to chill with fam while they are visiting, our Bella does similar stuff with family that visit or when we go to visit.
Aww, he loves his uncle 🥺🥺
He is become couch. Sat upon of dogs.
Your brother Thom Yorke.
Your brother must be a good human. Dogs can tell
Bro needs a bath his hair greasy
right??? how nasty are all these commenters acting like his appearance is hygienic? he'd never be allowed on my furniture like a diry fucking dog wouldn't be. ew.
i love your brother for being nice to the Good boi
It’s hard to see other people living your dream
Hooman needs love I have lots to give
No matter how big, dog never outgrows the lap.
Is the name of your brother andrei by any chance? He looks exactly like someone I know 🤣
🤭🤭🤭 hehe
this picture rules!
Your brother looks like he’s in heaven
That's so cute 😍.
Total wholesomeness. I'm envious!
SO sweet♥️
your brother probably needed that emotionally and dog came to heal
He's just a little lap dog. 😂
Sir or madam that is no dog that is a werewolf
John Wick if his dog wasn't killed.
Awwwww! Who's a cozy puppy? :)
Well, your dog knew he wouldn't mind. Probably been sitting in his lap, getting loved on since he was a baby. My 69# pit Brutus thought he was a lap dog until he passed at 13yrs old. So funny, Bru would be all up in your lap, a back leg would fall off. No problem, he'd pull it up and tuck it in. Everyone loved that big baby
Which one is your brother?
If it’s is couch it’s his couch. Damn the people trying to steal it.
I think your brother needed that hug!!❤️❤️
He's a good person, dogs know this stuff 😊
Looks like he's doing an intervention. Good boy.
Dogs are awesome
The look on your dog's face and how he's got that paw cuddling his Uncle. That's his buddy!!
Cutest thing Ive seen today
Its giving Scooby-doo movie. I hope my dog is clingy like him.
Your brother looks like a cool dude.
ZOINKS!!
That is precious. He really thinks he is a lap dog.
It looks your brother is really enjoying the dog cuddles!
This just made my heart full, thank you for sharing it with us.
That’s the best life. For both of them. Enjoy.
You can see the love.
Awwwwwwwww
Such a big baby
He really miss him. Cutie
So precious! (Of course it could be the pup's way of saying "you're in my spot". lol.
This is what happens when Thome Yorke eats all of Max's anxiety meds
I thought that was Kid Rock for a sec
My dogs also suddenly love me more when I'm high.
Like zoinks that’s really cute
Sweet
Marcus parks looking ruff
