Your morning adorable: Fun for all at the playground (dogs included)

Submitter Debbie shares this great photo, and we can’t decide who we think is cuter, the joyous Dogue de Bordeaux or the Spider-Man costume-clad child clearly delighted by his slide-navigating prowess. (We also give honorable mention to the disapproving-looking boxer in the background.)

Dogues de Bordeaux, also called French mastiffs, are known for their patient, calm temperaments, devotion to their families -- and, of course, for costarring in the Tom Hanks movie ‘Turner & Hooch.’

In its description of the hefty working dogs, the American Kennel Club, naturally, sings the breed’s praises, offering only one word of warning: ‘New owners should be prepared to deal with drool!’

Duly noted.
