    The first year my husband and I were dating, we got a bull mastiff lab cross, and he was the best dog I will probably ever own. He was scared of everything, but when we had kids he took to them instantly. He would nanny them as infants and eventually became one of our son's therapy dogs. He naturally knew how to help my son, and would know before we did if he was sick. We lost him to cancer at 11, he had a terrible time recovering from the first removal surgery so when it came back we decided not to put him through it. A king of dogs.
    And yes, he was afraid of baths.

      A good dog can become a part of the family so wonderfully - my younger sibling called our dog an extra mom. She was the sweetest little (well, big for a chihuahua, but little overall) chihuahua mix, built like a brick and full of love and fear. Terrified of other dogs, no predatory instincts whatsoever, but she truly adored her human family, and got along quite well with strangers too (as long as they weren't too tall.) Only ever nipped a person once - my sibling was messing with her tail - and she felt so bad about it she hid under the bed.
      She passed away a few years back, but she lived a long and happy life - by the end she was blind, deaf, and incontinent, but she still loved to sit by the hot air vent in the refrigerator and get pets and warm baths. Just a sweetheart in every way.

    One of my neighbours had a Bull Mastiff called Bruno. He was such a sweetie but kept jumping over the fence to get to our side. Trouble was our garden was lower than theirs so he couldn't get back over. Lost count of the number of times I had to lead him back round the front to let him back in through the gate. He never gave me any trouble, just wanted to say hello :)

      I love other people's mastiffs. The owners always seem surprised when I'm eager to pat them, I guess since I'm a fairly small person so they expect me to be intimidated, but I adore their big block heads and the way they just lumber around. Can't handle the drool though and I think it would be potentially unsafe to have a dog I have no hope of ever being able to physically control if needed (I'm disabled as well and live alone so no backup from someone else).

    A friend of mine had a bullmastiff. He was the smartest, most friendly dog that I think that I have ever met. He was great with children. Unfortunately, their lifespan is shorter than smaller dogs.

    Speaking of fear, I am super afraid of dogs and while I don't know if I'm ready to dive face first into surrounding myself with them, watching your videos has helped me understand their body language a lot better which has helped ease the fear a little. Usually I live in a nightmare when I leave my house because everyone lets their giant dogs roam off leash and I don't know what to do around them ever AND I'm afraid so I just stay inside all the time. But I think I'm a little less terrified than before.
    It also doesn't hurt to see this guy who could probably kill me with a single tackle being more terrified of getting into the bath than I am of him

      Don't worry, this is much more accurate to how successful exposure therapy works than just diving in face first. When done right it starts with looking at pictures and then videos of the thing you're scared of and moving fairly slowly. NOT some asshole going "oh, you're scared of spiders? here's my tarantula!!!" So entirely accidentally you're doing it right. Unfortunately it sounds like most of the dog owners in your area aren't very responsible but if you can find one who is then one day when you're more ready you could try meeting their dog in a supervised situation, but that's up to you and only if you're comfortable with the idea. Learning about dog body language is a good idea either way though since it's often easier to be scared of things that are incomprehensible and being able to tell the difference between an aggressive and a friendly dog removes a lot of unpredictability.

    When I was a kid (8-9) we used to jump neighborhood fences as a sport, running across backyards until we got to the end of the street. One time we landed in a yard with two of these... they came out teeth bared, growling, snarling... I was so terrified... ... Somehow the dogs realized we were no threat and sort of just chilled out and went away. I have 2 BullMastiff friends living with me today as an adult. 🥰🥰🥰

    Friends of ours who lived just down the street had a sweet bull mastiff named Rufus. Rufus was a good boy and the yard was fenced, but he would get excited by kids walking past going to and from school. He'd bark as he wanted to play. But the kids would be worried he would try to jump over the fence and eat them or something so they would hurry past 😂
