It’s never a dull day with a puppy around, especially one as large as Hank the Great Dane<\/a>. This playful pup is only 9 months old, but he’s already well over 100 pounds! He can reach many places in the house that smaller pups can only dream of, and he’s learning to make the most of this advantage.<\/p>\n This Great Dane puppy has also been obsessed with water since he was just a few months old, but his mom was still confused when she heard the shower running in the bathroom on February 9. The lights were off and no one was inside… except Hank! This rambunctious puppy learned how to turn the water on all by himself, so he decided to celebrate with a relaxing shower.<\/p>\n Whether it’s a drink from the bathtub faucet or a refreshing dip in the shower, Hank isn’t afraid to take what he wants. In this case, what he wanted was a rinse! He looked so unbothered, even when he was caught red-pawed, because he knew Mom wouldn’t even be mad.<\/p>\n “The way you said ‘you have your collar on!’ like he’s fully dressed is frying me,” commenter @nasuskuhcs admitted. Everyone knows dogs are naked without their collars! Hopefully, this eager puppy didn’t damage his fancy collar, but something tells me he isn’t too concerned.<\/p>\n Related: Deaf Rescued Great Dane May Be the World’s Tallest Dog but His Fear of Tape Measures Keeps It a Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, it looks like Mom arrived just in time! He sauntered up to her as if to say, “Oh, can you take that off, actually?” just like @madiweyrauch commented.<\/p>\n Other viewers were jealous of this puppy’s love of water, especially dog parents of pups who hate bathing! This Dane’s mom may use more towels than the average person, but having a clean and fresh-smelling dog is worth it. Hank’s shiny coat is just the cherry on top!<\/p>\n In other videos, Hank’s mom revealed that he weighed 120 pounds at just 7 months old. Now that he’s even older, he weighs even more!<\/p>\n Great Danes spend the first several years of their life growing into their massive bodies, which means Hank is nowhere near done growing. Danes reach their full height around 18 months<\/a> old, but many dogs continue to fill out until they’re 2 years old.<\/p>\n Hank is already an unstoppable force at less than a year old, so I can only imagine the kind of shenanigans he’ll be up to when he’s even bigger. Luckily, his older sibling Billie will help to keep him in check!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by PetHelpful<\/a> on Feb 13, 2026, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
