When it comes to dogs, we know that they come in all types and sizes. Some of them are tiny and can fit in the palm of your hand, others are huge and might even be taller than us when they stand on their hind legs. It really doesn’t matter, however, how big or small a dog is, they are going to have our heart when they are a part of our family.

Most people think about Great Danes when they think about large dogs, and for good reason. They are the largest dog breed and they have a heart as big as their body. Another large dog breed that does not quite get as much press is the Irish Wolfhound. This breed of dog, which has a name that can be translated ‘war dog’ or ‘wolf dog’ is found in literature that goes back over 1000 years.

As far as their size is concerned, they stand at about 32-34 inches tall. When you see one in person, they can be quite a sight, especially if you’ve never seen one before. When you do know the breed, you realize they can be rather goofy as well. Don’t believe me? Check out these 25 pictures:
