This 75lb Doberman Thinks He's a Lap Dog — And She Doesn't Mind

A 75-pound Doberman named Onyx decided he was a lap dog — and his owner Claire has never once tried to convince him otherwise. What started as a rescue adoption nobody expected became one of the most quietly beautiful bonds you'll ever see. When Claire first walked into the rescue shelter, she almost didn't stop at his kennel. Onyx had been there for eleven weeks. Most people saw "Doberman" and kept walking. But something made her pause — and what happened the moment she signed those papers changed everything she thought she knew about the breed. This is the story of a seventy-five pound dog who never learned he wasn't a lap dog, and the woman who never wanted him to find out.
