Myth No. 5: Big dogs shouldn’t live with cats When Veronica decided to foster kittens, she didn’t expect to get a whole lot of help from her chocolate Lab, Penny. But soon after bringing home the first six kittens, Penny started caring for them like they were her own babies! https://t.co/520eRAjRjj

Myth No. 6: Big dogs have a lot of energy When Gary came to Best Friends, the 72-pound pup was never in a hurry to get anywhere (except maybe to his new home). Now living with Dianne and Donny, he still prefers lazy days in the sun over long walks through the neighborhood! https://t.co/a5mOL9f7s7

Myth No. 7: Big dogs can’t be lap dogs You could say that Eddie is a lap dog, although to be fair he doesn’t exactly fit on most laps. But that doesn’t stop this giant white bear of a dog from trying! https://t.co/guQyLJkejW

Myth No 4: You can’t teach an (old) big dog new tricks When Megan first adopted Georgia, she was afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Megan decided to give her treats every time she turned it on. Today, she has learned that the vacuum isn’t a bad thing at all — it's a treat dispenser! https://t.co/jkkQrr6Igg

Myth No. 1: Big dogs can’t live in apartments Two-year-old Rocky weighs 80 pounds. Rocky is being fostered by Samantha, who lives in (you guessed it) an apartment. “His size really is no issue in the home, besides the fact that he takes up more room on the couch,” says Samantha. https://t.co/FMozt5yUVQ

Meet the addax! This large, well-build antelope species hails from the scorching deserts of North Africa, where it lives off shrubs and other plant life. Sadly, the species is also critically endangered, with fewer than 100 still left in the wild. . . . . . #addax #northafrica #antelope #antelopespecies #desert #sahara #desertanimals #endangered #criticallyendangered #animals #animalplanet #pictureoftheday #earthmonth #potd

It's time for Friar Tuck to be released back into the wild, but first, the staff will have to catch him! #AlaskaAnimalRescue https://t.co/BCFm0T2tGP

Myth No. 2: Big dogs aren’t good with kids “When I became a mom and had the privilege to see [my dog Georgie] interact so lovingly with Huck, all of the things I loved about her multiplied times 1,000,” says Katie of her pup, who died last year. “She was the best mama bear.” https://t.co/F6RZh7JRHI

Myth No. 3: Big dogs don’t mix well with little dogs Georgia may be a big dog, but that hasn’t stopped her from making friends with those smaller than her. In fact, she’s so gentle and respectful of little dogs that her adopter has fostered other dogs of all sizes in her home! https://t.co/KWS17R9dpC
