It’s easy to become wrapped up in the idea that the bigger you are, the more menacing. But that often couldn’t be further from the truth.

Take this burly man — he gets down on the floor and strikes up a little game with a pint-sized shih tzu puppy. No science has confirmed this yet, but this is probably the cutest friendship you’ll ever see.

Nibbling on the man’s ears and licking his nose, this puppy is all over the map. Which, of course, makes him the cutest little guy around!
