"This is the Gucci shirt of dogs" - HasanAbi speculates on what people might think about him adopting a mastiff
HasanAbi was two hours into his livestream earlier today when he came across the aforementioned video by Fenrir Canine Show. In it, the latter discussed the Tibetan Mastiff, calling them one of the "most incredible" guardian breeds. He added:
"In my personal opinion, Tibetan Mastiffs are amongst the most incredible guardian breeds on the planet. One good look at these majorly imposing dogs makes it easy to understand why they are the most expensive dog breed in the world! With their long, shaggy manes, these guys really do look like lions."
