Meet the huge 11st pup who doesn’t realise his own size and loves sitting on his owners

THIS 11st pup thinks he’s a lapdog and loves sitting on his owners.

Huge Newfoundland Sherman, who has a comedy “I self-identify as a chihuahua” bib, reaches 6ft on hind legs at 18 months.

Owners Elliott ­Richards, 46, and wife Beverley, 41, say he’ll add 2st.

Cop Elliott, of South Shields, Tyneside, said: “He's big and friendly - probably a bit too friendly for his own good.

“He likes to sit on you because he thinks he's a lap dog.

“He doesn’t realise his own size.

“He's just started getting really stubborn.”

They welcomed the cuddle monster into the family in February last year after importing him from a Polish breeder.

The couple bought him for around £2,600.

It seems that experts agree that Newfoundlands like Sherman are one of the friendliest dog breeds.

Canine behaviourist Will Atherton recently said: The calmest, most relaxed, most gentle giant dog breed that I've ever come across has to be the Newfoundland."

A user commented on his TikTok video: ";Had a Newfoundland she was the most gentle thing in the world!"
