     Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who goes by Thor for short, is an extremely large man. So large, in fact, that he consumes approximately 10,000 calories per day and looks like he can crush you with just his pinkie. His character on Game of Thrones isn't called The Mountain for nothing, after all.

    You'd expect a guy like that to have an alligator or a wolf as a pet, or at least an extremely large dog. 

    Instead, he has this:

    A pomeranian that is regally named Asterix. I mean, look at this thing. He barely even fits inside his beefy hands.

    They even workout together. That's some good cardio!

    A post shared by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (@thorbjornsson)

    Look at them play. You can just imagine The Mountain slaying a hundred men and then coming home to his little puppy and going "coochee coochee cooooo."

    It seems Thor may even have a Big Men with Tiny Dogs club happening. 

    A post shared by Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (@thorbjornsson)

    Can this please be a movie now?
