Big Rottweilers Cuddle Tiny French Bulldog Puppy for Adorable Naptime Bliss

There are people out there who may believe that Rottweilers are a bit scary, and it's easy to see why. They can be pretty intimidating, and that bark really does mean business! Plus, they're not exactly small dogs; when fully grown, Rottweilers will weigh more than 100 pounds, especially if they're male. And after all, the idea of them acting as guard dogs didn't come out of thin air.

Fortunately, we know that even dogs who belong to breeds that have gotten a bad rep can be big old softies, and just in case you need more proof, this video from Instagram will probably do it for you. These Rottweilers have a new baby pup in the house, and they couldn't be any sweeter.

Recently, @simply_mhaddy shared this sweet footage on Instagram, and I am so glad she did, because it made my day — and I don't doubt it made plenty of others' days, too.

"This is your sign to get your dog a sibling," she wrote in the caption, and she is definitely right about that! Here, we can see two sweet Rottweiler pups cuddling a French Bulldog puppy, and at one point, one of them even has their arms around the puppy while they're all sleeping. This is so cute it doesn't even seem real!

It looks like all these dogs do is cuddle together, and if this Frenchie is supposed to be afraid of these big scary dogs, nobody told her!

Commenters couldn't get enough of these three, for obvious reasons. One person wrote, "this Frenchie is going to grow up with big dog attitude bc of his sibling." I happen to agree!

Rottweilers Can Be Gentle Dogs

Some people might be surprised to see the Rotties being so sweet to their new baby sibling, but maybe we should be less surprised.

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), Rottweilers always being aggressive dogs is simply a misconception. Though they were bred to be guard dogs, like almost any dog, they can be perfectly gentle and affectionate with the right training and socialization. If you're willing to put your time, love, and effort into these dogs, they will give it right back to you.

The AKC also points out that many Rottweilers thrive as service dogs or therapy dogs, and they love to be cuddled up close to their humans (or, in the case of the pups in the video above, the puppies in the house).

Don't count Rottweilers out before you've had the chance to meet them. They just might be your new best friend.
