Huge dog

Post containing pictures of a guy's huge dog?

There was a post in the blue a little while ago containing nothing more than some close-up pictures of a really big dog (I think a great dane or pitbull) chasing its ball and doing dog stuff. It may have been deleted for having so little content, but the pictures were kind of neat and I'd like to see them again. Search has turned up nothing for me. Does anyone remember this?
The dog was brown and I think its ball was orange or purple. I believe the owner also took some pictures of the dog with his little girl if that helps.

This one, I bet.

And man, there's a damn typo in the deletion reason.

It just goes to show, you can't be too careful.

For second I thought it said "picture's of a huge gay dog."

not that there's anything wrong with gay dogs

I did a double-take, thinking it read "... guy's huge dong."

And it seems to be a Bordeaux Mastiff / Dogue de Bordeaux.

Purple ball dog?

That's it, thanks cortex.

Orange and purple? Good combo!

I was kinda hoping it was this one.

The photographer is on Flickr here, by the way, with more pictures of the dog and its squeaky toys.

+1 for thinking it said "Post containing pictures of a guy's huge dong?"

I was going to direct you here. [NSFW]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who misread the title on first take.

Chalk me up as another in the dong column.

I'll add it to the tags.

Aww, it's a big Mastiff. Were it not for the basketball sized poo I'd consider one. My experiences suggest that they are really very sweet dogs.

And for the record, the poster here assumed that it was big, therefore it might be a pit, but it should be noted that a proper pit bull shouldn't weigh more than 30 to 50 pounds. whereas a typical mastiff will clear 90 or more.

There didn't seem to be any animosity in the question towards the breed, but this is a good demonstration of how easy it is for some to misidentify what a pit-bull actually is.

Am I a fool to only now wonder if Momus shopped his cock?

Hadn't seen that dog before either. Quite scary set of photographs.

Chalk me up as another in the hadn't seen the dog before column.

And pencil me into the fuck, I wish I hadn't, that is terrifying row.

I totally first read it as "guy's huge dong" as well, and am even more terrified knowing that it's Momus naked in the link above.

I mean I've met that guy. I don't want to think about that.

With a dog that huge, it must be difficult to, uh...ride a bicycle or something.

I misread the title as "Guy's huge naked erect penis."

I correctly read my thoughts as "God, momus is fucking annoying, even his weiner annoys me. But that dog sure is cute."

He looks like some kind of Asian art inspiration. Demon, dragon or samurai? That crazy angry look.

I think you're confusing him with Jeff Stryker. You can buy Jeff's cock at any decent toyshop for just £39.99

Yup. And here is my awesome Dogue de Bordeaux + Boxer mix.

People, does everything have to be about Momus' dong? Can't just some things be about it?

I'm so grateful I'm not alone.

Mmmm, huge gay dong.

Wait, gay or green?

You know, I was just coming in to say, "Hey, guys, you'll never believe this, but for a second I thought it was a question about pictures of a someone's 'huge dong'." I see you are all way ahead of me.

Conceptual priming is powerful juju.

That's not a typo, cortex, it's an acknowledgment that we are all one. That all of us are that gay huge dong. That each of us has gay huge dong deep inside of us.

See a wider range of Titan's expressions here. My impression was that the flickr user in this link is Titan's owner; maybe someone else can untangle the provenance.
posted by zepheria at 11:58 AM on March 25

Wow. Titan is an awfully sprightly dog given that he's at least 40 years old now.

I used to work with someone who had a Dogue de Bordeaux. It was the closest I ever got to the pony my parents never got me.
posted by maudlin at 12:03 PM on March 25

zepheria, the earlier flickr link belongs to Titan's owner's son.

Also, when the kontraband link was first posted to the blue, I emailed themightyjimbo asking if they were using his pics without permission. He emailed back and said they were his dad's and they've been trying to get kontraband to take them down for some time now, with no luck.

Of course not. Sometimes it's about Danza's dong. Ok, talk to you later.
