Another famous Newfoundland owner? J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan.
His dog, Luath, was the inspiration for the Darling family’s nurse dog, affectionately named “Nana” in the book (though the Disney film modeled Nana after a St. Bernard).
They’re also commonly referred to as a “nanny dog” due to their gentleness toward children in the family. That’s what we call loyalty!
