Editor's note: Traditionally used to watch over flocks of sheep, a modern-day Great Pyr will make sure nothing bad happens to your toddler, your cat, or anyone he perceives as being part of his family. Loyal and instinctively protective, they’re also gorgeous: think snow-covered mountain but the snow is fur. Large, regal, and with facial expressions that radiate pure intelligence, the Great Pyrenees is also super photogenic and will look amazing on your screens!
