German Shepherds are beloved for their loyal, courageous, and confident nature.

These dogs are known to be large and agile.

This, combined with their noble character, makes these steadfast guardians wonderful dogs who are willing to put their lives on the line for those they love. Basically, they are the best.

Here are 20 reasons why German Shepherds are the goodest dogs ever:
