Growing up with Great Danes, I can tell you they are indeed gentle giants, have a deep woof, protective of family, strong, sensitive souls, cautious, leaners, curious, smart and quite comical. My families first Great Dane was a Harlequin rescue named Sundance. Then we fostered a Mantle named Ace for a short time. Our 3rd Dane was a Fawn puppy appropriately named Marmaduke...yes just like the old comic strip. This was all before digital cameras and internet but I will have to try to see if I can find any photos of my Great Danes from my childhood then scan and post them...
