At first sight Great Danes look like huge, powerful, and imposing dogs. Their high stature and sleek bodies combined with ears that stand at attention make them appear guarded and always alert. However, looks can be deceiving. The AKC describes the breed as having a laid back attitude and docile nature.
These dogs are often very gentle and loving in temperament and make wonderful family pets since they tend to get along well with other animals and children. Like many other dogs, they are naturally inquisitive and love to play with whatever strikes their fancy at the moment.
In this video, one Great Dane has found a banana to investigate and play with. The large black dog, named Hope, had been given a piece of banana by her human companion. At first she appeared to be mystified and unsure what to do. She got down low at floor level with the slimy piece of fruit then jumped upright and started to bark up a storm and run circles around it.
When her owner tried to show her the banana and peel she instinctively backed away from it while barking. The video cuts and Hope is seen sitting down staring intently at the banana peel. She looks as if she is waiting for it to come to life and play with, or attack, her. The whole scene and her innocently playful reaction to such a simple item makes for a heartwarming, funny, and memorable moment.
You can’t help but wonder if she ended up tasting or eating the banana or if she just played with her food! If Hope did eat the banana and peel it would have been fine. Many dogs love the taste, but it’s best to give them a few slices at a time, any more could potentially give them diarrhea.
Their high fiber content helps promote bowel movements, so if you have a pet with bowel problems try giving them a slice. Just remember, too much of anything is never a good thing!
