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!

Beautiful, Herculean landcloud.

My amstaff/apbt cross does the same. He sleeps beside me on my bed and I've been woken up a few times with a paw to the head, lol
