A Great Dane who towers 2.2 metres (7 feet 4 inches) on his hind legs is named the tallest dog ever recorded in the latest Guinness Book of World Records launched on Thursday. The giant canine from Michigan in the United States eats an entire 14-kilogram (30-pound) bag of food every day and weighs in at 70.3 kilograms, the 57th edition of the global records book says. Measuring 1.12 metres (44 inches) from paw to withers — the point between the shoulder blades at which the official height of a four-legged mammal is judged — he is officially the tallest dog ever recorded, the volume claims. here

Saw that dude on the news tonight. They also showed a house cat almost the size of a cougar. LOL. Hate to have to feed that damn horse.

30 lbs of food a day! I'd go broke trying to feed that dog! Wouldn't enjoy cleaning up either I'm sure.

Where's SK, he is sure to label this a hoax, photoshop or something. LOL. They had some great shots of him on ABC news tonight or I might have my doubts too.

You could almost saddle that boy and ride him to town.

It does. I don't think that dog could stoop low enough to drink out of the toilet.
