20 Aww-Worthy Photos of German Shepherds That Might Convince You to Get One

German Shepherd Dogs (GSD) are generally seen as tough and aggressive canines. This is mainly because we often see them working with the police as watchdogs. But pet owners who have opened their doors to these extremely loyal creatures are sharing photos of their GSD’s softer and sweeter side. And this breed can definitely melt any dog lover’s heart.

Now I’ve Seen Everything collected 20 photos of German Shepherds being irresistibly cute, and they might just make you consider having one of your own.
