I liked the movie, but it really undersold the amount of drool these dogs fling around, the destructive toppling power of their tails, and their ability/affinity for sniffing human crotches.

My dane (Kierkegaard) was tall enough to easily reach the armpits of standing friends and new people. So, everyone got a visible damp patch on their crotch and one or both pits! Paws too big for clicking claws. He would come up behind you stick nose in back crotch or back and run away: tag!
He had many brains cells often used to prank favourite humans and our neighbour's cat who he really liked and who was definitely not in favour of their "friendship".
Cappy passed in 1997 and was the last. My parents did some remodeling in 2021 and found stray drool remnants on the lighting fixtures in a room with a cathedral ceiling. Living with him meant encasing his head in a towel whenever he drank water or came in from outside to try to capture some of it.
My husband thought my preference for a flat mop where I could toss the cloth bit in the washing machine and had a telescoping handle was weird, and then he observed me cleaning the drool from our neopolitan mastiff (died 2019) off of all the surfaces and he STFU. Our cane corso is much less drooly.

Standing in the right spot, she could totally strum my guitar strings while wagging her tail.
Musical dog!
