There are big dogs, and then there is Toad, an English Mastiff<\/a><\/strong> who looks like someone combined a gentle giant with an unstuffed elephant stuffed animal. In the viral clip, he waddles toward the camera with pounds of soft wrinkles swinging from his cheeks and neck like he’s wearing the world\u2019s cushiest blanket. His facial folds are so dramatic that he looks like he was sculpted out of warm bread dough. And honestly, he seems completely unbothered by how enormous and squishy he is.<\/p>\n

People in the comments have crowned him the elephant dog because his wrinkles give the same soft, droopy vibe as a well-loved stuffed<\/a> elephant that has been dragged around by a child for a decade. His eyes peek out from behind folds, his jowls stretch into goofy shapes with every step, and the overall effect is pure, irresistible charm. Toad looks like a huge, lovable marshmallow who was put on this earth to be hugged, photographed, and adored.<\/p>\n

All you have to do is read the comments in the post shared on the TikTok account @toadthemastiff<\/a> to see what I mean. One person said, “I wouldn’t pet this baby. I would wrap my arms around him and give him smooches.” Another person added, “I have never wanted to snuggle anything more in my life!”<\/p>\n

One interesting comment read, “Love them. Had one but had to rehome her. Allergic to the skin oils. But look at all that grabbable cheek meat!”<\/p>\n

Petscare explains, “Many English Mastiffs<\/a> suffer from allergies and skin conditions<\/a>. These can manifest as environmental allergies, food sensitivities, or contact dermatitis. Regular grooming, an appropriate diet, and prompt treatment of skin infections are essential for managing these issues.”<\/p>\n

Let’s get into it!<\/p>\n

Does an English Mastiff’s Skin Require Special Care?<\/p>\n

English Mastiffs<\/a> have naturally loose, heavy skin that forms deep wrinkles, especially around the face and neck. Those folds are adorable, but they do need a little extra attention to stay healthy. Moisture, dirt, and debris can get trapped in the creases, which may lead to irritation or infections<\/a> if not cleaned regularly. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth and a thorough dry afterward can help keep the folds fresh. Many Mastiff parents also use mild, vet-approved cleansers<\/a> if their pups are prone to yeast or bacterial issues. Regular grooming, a high-quality diet, and check-ins with their veterinarian can help keep their skin in good shape. With minimal weekly care, those iconic Mastiff wrinkles stay cute and comfortable.<\/p>\n
