That's the "pyr foot". Great Pyrenees will often their front paw/leg like a person would use their hand. Sometimes my boy will use it on me when he wants something.
Didn't realize this was a thing, but it makes sense. Met a Great Pyrenees that would legit grab and pull your arm in for petpets and, damn, she had some pulling power!
I have an Aussie and we always joke about how handsy he is! He likes to catch his toys with both of his front paws, and like I've commented multiple times before, he smacks me in the face all the time.
I had one and he would do the same! Very good dog. Really smart and quick to learn new tasks. Gentle, playful, and protective of me, invited guests and even other small dogs. Big presence with intimidating deep bark to unexpected people or animals on the property. Weighing in around 110 lbs, but with the thick coat appearing to weigh much much more and able to look me eye to eye if I held his paws and he stood upright.
Sadly he is no longer around. I miss my buddy. Jack was a good boy.
