MEET Hercules — a huge St Bernard who thinks he’s a lapdog.
He’s friendly but, if he sits on you, you’ll be trapped as he weighs nearly 12st.
Owners Nick and Katie Bridge, both 29, say he won’t budge until he’s had his fill.
The pair, from Bristol, said Hercules, who on his hind legs stands at 5ft 9in, ballooned to 11st 7lb.
Engineer Nick and care worker Katie warn visitors the two-year-old gentle giant may plonk himself on them if they sit on the floor, too.
Katie said: “Hercules thinks he’s a lapdog. He just wants cuddles.”
She added: “Having Hercules around is definitely a lot of fun. We really can’t imagine life without him. He’s the best.
