Bullmastiff Is Almost as Big as 'The Grinch' in Hilarious Holiday Photoshoot

Have you planned out your holiday photos yet? There's still time! We know it can be a little hard to figure out a fresh angle every year. So may we suggest trying something new? One dog parent took their Bullmastiff to see a different man in a big red coat — the Grinch. And let's just say the results are perfect.

Ravioli is a big guy. Nothing scares him. But even the bravest dog might not stand a chance when facing the Grinch.

Nope it's not Santa waiting to take a photo with you, it's someone more sinister! Thankfully, it doesn't seem like the Bullmastiff lives in Whoville, so he should be okay. If anything, it was the Grinch who should've been worried! Ravioli is a big guy! Although he's more of the gentle giant type so in this situation the Grinch was safe.

Ravioli was so good as he got his picture taken. He knew to plop on the ground and say cheese at just the right time.

Commenters were loving Ravioli's special photo shoot. "They have the same facial expression," joked one person. "I know Rav, the Grinch is no substitute for Santa!" teased another commenter. "He was hitting ALL the angles," added another person. "Aww what a good boy! My big guy would have thought the Grinch was a jumbo chew toy," wrote one commenter.

All About Bullmastiffs

Though they are certainly some of the largest dogs out there, there's nothing to worry about when a Bullmastiff is around. Originally bred to be working dogs, now most Bullmastiffs find themselves as gentle family dogs that love being around their humans.

These guys are laid back dogs, with calm attitudes that can handle being around kids. There's no one you'd rather cuddle on the couch with than a Bullmastiff! But there's another side to their personality that you should be mindful of. As much as these dogs love being with their humans, they don't exactly love strangers. The dog can be very suspicious of humans they don't know and won't exactly be welcoming.

Bullmastiffs are very independent too! Which isn't as much of a good thing as you would imagine. They can be a little bit hard to train and won't listen to their owners easily, no matter how much they love them. And you probably don't want another pet around, as these dogs don't really love to share space.

Bullmastiffs can absolutely be the right pet for your family. And they look great in a Christmas card too!
