Indeed, they act as protectors, but even they know how to express affection. 

These 19 images aim to dispel misconceptions and demonstrate that German Shepherds are filled with love, eager to display it to everyone they encounter!

6. The Best Boop In The World

German Shepherds possess a large, squishy nose. They’re perfect for boops of all varieties. If this were a different dog breed… let’s say a Shiba, this boop from his little human would be unfeasible. Nevertheless, this is a GSD… a family dog like no other.
