    We have a 150 pound dog and we got him one at PetSmart.  We were lucky and got the last one that fit him.  I don't remember the brand and it is not on the harness.  We had our dog with us and just tried it on him.

    150 pounds.....???
    Did you try a tack shop for horse harnesses?
    I thought 70 pounds was large. I think that is bigger then some of our rescue horses.
    Would love to see a photo if he will let you take one.

    He and his brother (139 lbs.) have taken me for a drag on a couple of occasions.  They love small dogs and I was walking both of them on wet grass when they spotted a little puppy.  They took me off my feet, I did a face plant in the grass and then tore my rotator cuff.  His brother has since passed with kidney cancer, but this one does not walk really well.

    He does indeed take me for a walk.  The good news is that we have a large fenced in yard, so he can run and we don't have to take him on the street much.

    Which is why we are having a bit of a time locating something good.
    Our dog is Pit, Mastiff and lab, so he is a little on the muscular side and larger than most pits and labs. Most harnesses don't fit him well.

    We are gonna try one of those that @jgibv recommended.
    Hopefully, an XL size will not bite into him.

    Sophie was one of the three dogs who lived under my desk. She was a nervous wreck. When it stormed I would get shaken awake because she would lean against my bed she shook so much it moved the entire thing. So, I would sit up with her and hold her until the storm passed and she could relax. She was an outside dog until a really bad storm hit and she escaped the fenced in area, we had no idea how much it bothered her at the time. We searched for weeks and finally gave up. A lot of months later my step daughter Amanda was a couple of miles up the road talking to a friend who mentioned a dog with one white eye in the woods. Amanda came home got my wife went looking. As soon as they called for Sophie and she came out of the woods and rolled on her back for a belly rub. It was probably her "nerves" that kept her alive, and only when she heard a familiar voice did she respond.
    She had the silkiest fur and would bark when she ate, she never made a sound otherwise unless she wanted to come back in the house. She would turn down her favorite treat until she got petted first. She was never a problem, slightly bonkers and we all loved her. R.I.P. Ole Girl.....We will miss you.

    FDA Warning: Store-Bought ‘Bone Treats’ Could Kill Your Dog

    https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-recall/fda-warning-store-bought-bone-treats-could-kill-your-dog/

    I use to buy short ribs from an American seller of American produced or made products. Not any more, too many horror stories
    And we do our best to never buy Chinese pet food of any type of kind.

    The FDA warning reminded me:  Do not ever let your dog play with a tennis ball made in China.  I was speaking with one of our Generals at her residence when I noticed that her lab had silver teeth.  When I asked about it, she told me the dog love to chase tennis balls. Her late husband bought a bunch from Walmart and the dog chased, caught and chewed them.  One day the dog wouldn't eat. Notice her mouth was swollen and took her to the vet and had to have surgery on her gums and mouth from fiberglass fibers infecting her.  Had to remove several teeth, replacement doggy dentures were made of what looked like stainless steel.  No tennis balls for dogs!!!!

    We got this guy from a shelter here in San Luis Obispo. He was a rescue from Louisiana when the hurricanes hit. We named him Louis. They had 4 boys and we were lucky enough to get him. My 2 year old and him are 2 peas in a pod as you can see!


    That is the cutest pair ever!

    That looks just like my girl, Ezra. All the way down to the white patch on the chest. Those are some really sweet pictures.
