Irish Wolfhounds got their name from the fact that people used to go wolf-hunting with them. They are one of the oldest dog breeds, since there are suggestions they have been brought to Ireland as early as 7000 BC.

They are usually clingy, loving, and adorable, just like smaller dogs, and these photos are proof of the adorable creatures Irish wolfhound are.
