Toddler Uses St. Bernard as the Cutest Toy Stand—and He Loves It

Thanos the St. Bernard looks out for his little human, Lavender, and lets her play with him in one of the sweetest ways we’ve ever seen. While Thanos relaxes and naps on the floor, Lavender gets busy with her stacking rings.

And she’s back at it again! Lavender playing ring stack on my legs while I’m asleep. Lots of pets, snuggles, and kisses with our brother Dunder too #saintbernards #dogsandtoddlers #dogtok #toddlersoftiktok #shenaningans

Thanos’s sweet reaction matches what families with St. Bernards often say—that the breed is one of the best with children.

St. Bernards are known as the original nanny dogs because they are so gentle and protective of children. They were so well-regarded for this trait that the St. Bernard in J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan was even named “Nana.”

Dog lovers adore Thanos and Lavender’s playtime, with one viewer noting, “The fact that she figured out that the rings fit on the dog’s leg amazes me.”

“He tilts his foot up to help her too,” observed another. “It’s like he leaves his leg like that deliberately lol. Just for her. It’s so cute,” agreed one other viewer.

“That dog is a saint,” joked another. “Dogs are the best!!”
