When your Great Pyrenees leans on you, he or she is getting as close to you as possible.

Will a Great Pyrenees protect me?
Great Pyrenees are guard dogs by instinct, and members of the great family of livestock guardian dogs. Pyrs are not herding dogs, but were bred to be left alone to protect their flock of sheep up in the mountain valleys. They do not need to be trained to be guard dogs. Neither can they be trained NOT to guard.
