Herbert was not fazed at all he was just happy to be on top of Daddy."BY CAITLIN JILL ANDERS
He might be 5 years old, but Herbert is a huge baby at heart.
Hes a lover and a cuddler who thinks hes a 5-pound lapdog, Marybeth Parker, Herberts mom, told The Dodo.
Despite his big size, Herbert loves to cuddle and is so gentle with his whole family but sometimes, he forgets how big he actually is.
Whenever his dad is relaxing in his recliner, Herbert loves to climb onto his lap. Usually, that works out just fine. Recently, though, instead of just gently hopping onto his dads lap, Herbert decided hug him by jumping up and putting both paws on him
[Here are a few screenshots from the hilarious Facebook video:]

and the new move did not end up the way Herbert thought it would.
With Herberts weight, he ended up pushing back the recliner, with my husband in it and Herbert on top of him, onto its back on the floor, Parker said.
Even though that wasnt the move he was going for, Herbert actually didnt really seem to notice that anything had gone wrong.
Herbert was not fazed at all he was just happy to be on top of Daddy, Parker said.
Herberts dad, on the other hand, was definitely caught off guard but he gladly accepted cuddles and love from Herbert anyway. Herbert may not always remember how big he is, but hes definitely the sweetest, most loving dog his family has ever met, and thats enough for them.

They are supposed to be big lovers, but I've never met one.

He's HUGE but oh so sweet and lovable, his name is Captain
I swear he's three feet at the shoulder and is the largest dog I've ever seen
I go out to pick up the mail and he's always waiting for me so he can get petted
Just a big lovable goof
He's brindle and dark colored, and yes he slobbers, but it's ok, he's the Captain...
