Giddyup! See Liam Hemsworth ‘Ride’ His Gigantic Rescue Dog

When you give your dog the name Dora the Explorer — like Liam Hemsworth did — by gosh, you are going to have adventures together. Though they may be silly ones.

The Australian actor, 26, posted an Instagram photo of himself beachside with Dora on Tuesday. He was pretending to be saddled up atop the gigantic pooch, writing, “Nothing beats riding your horse on the beach.” He also gave the thumbs-up sign, because pretending to ride your massive rescue dog is awesome.

Miley Cyrus’s main man brought the pup home nearly a year ago, and it’s a true love story. She became fast friends with the Hunger Games star’s other pup, Tani.

And we can’t keep calling the dog big without justifying it. So, to give you a realistic sense of how big the beautiful canine is, take in this photo while remembering that the actor is 6’3″. (#ThatDogIsTallerThanMe.)

And here they are face-to-face.

But we all know it’s not size that matters. In this case, it’s the fun they have together. And these two certainly like to horse around.
