The boarhound, also known as the Great Dane, is a large breed of dog used historically for hunting wild boars. Rubeus Hagrid's pet, Fang, was a boarhound, described as "enormous" and "black". However, in the Harry Potter films, Fang is portrayed by a Neapolitan Mastiff, not by a boarhound. P.S. The boarhound is the bigger one in the first photo. I always thought that the photos of giant dogs are fake but they're not, at least not all of them))) 😂
