Orson looks like a Newfie... big fargin' dog. Great pets, but who can afford to feed them?
In the same vein of "who can afford to feed them" falls one of the coolest dogs ever, the Saint Bernard. I'm a bit shocked that a thread about "manly dogs" hasn't yet included the only one that comes with a fricken brandy cask under it's chin! Having said that, when Mrs. Old-fart and I were still in the dating phase, she lived beside a Sainty named "George". Good god was that thing big. I remember coming over for dinner once, carrying some groceries in and George was out front playing... he comes bounding over to you, slobber flying... not stopping... holy ##$@!@.... George standing over me licking my face... ahhhhh!!!!! Great dog, very friendly, but you need a backhoe to pick up the crap.
Also in the cool dog category would be bassett hound, especially a very overweight one named "Flash".
