My neighbors down the block had a similar Great Dane / yippy micro dog combo. When they went on walkies, it was pure visual comedy. The little guy liked to stay underneath the big one, not unlike a pilot fish with a shark.
Great Danes have really nice, easygoing temperaments, but it's a little disconcerting when you pull your car into friends' driveway and their Great Dane ambles over to your car...and sticks her head in through the open window to give you a puzzled sniff and a friendly lick.
In my younger days working in a grotty fast food restaurant, one of the few pleasures I took from the job was a lady who drove (I think) a Ford Escort and took along her monstrous Great Dane for the ride. His head was usually completely sticking out of her moon roof.

About 30 years ago my dad's company truck was a Ford courier (IE: a rebadged mazda mini pickup). One fine summer day he was out on a call to a person's ranch who, as it turns out, raised great danes. After pulling up to the guy's house a half dozen dogs come racing out to meet the truck and one of the dogs lifts his leg and urinates in the centre of the hood. The customer is out on his deck say "Its alright, they're friendly, they won't bite". My dad's response is "Smeg that, come and get your dogs".
I should say that I don't often comment on the really cute stuff that gets posted here, but I showed this to the girls and the Ms, and they all crowed about it.
