What can I say about this big goofball one and a half year old Great Dane. When I first saw him in Sarah and Nathan's driveway the day I arrived I must say I was a little intimidated. I got over that real quick because nice he gets to know you he is a love bug. He loves baby Nova since they are about the same age and he is so patient with her.
I found out his one bad habit in no time. I had to park my car under the carport one night because of the severe storm that was coming and I was afraid that if it hailed the moonroof would be damaged. The next morning Sarah knocked on my door and she was real upset. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that Thor had eaten my car. I know he's a large dog but my car is a lot bigger so I knew the car wasn't gone! We walked over to see what he had done and I saw it right away, he had eaten part of my front bumper. I have had my car for nine years now and it has driven me and many of my friends around the Southwest for almost 150,000 miles. The bumper had been damaged many years ago and I wasn't upset about this at all. Don't get me wrong, I love my car, but these days I don't let small stuff like this get to me. I asked Thor to come and sit by the damage as a public shaming!
He is a tough dog when it comes to guarding his domain but when there's severe storms outside he gets scared.
On this evening we brought him inside because there were tornado warning, one actually touched down about a mile from the house, and he was so scared that he just stayed by my feet while the storm passed.
But now and again he will remind you that he's still a puppy and all you need is patience and training...
This time he was really sorry because he chewed off and destroyed the license plate light on the passenger side. 
Keep o having patience Sarah and Nathan I because he will outgrow this phase. Be consistent with his training and you have a wonderful friend for life with him.
