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.
'Guinness World Records 2013' says the humongous hound breaks
the record of Giant George, another Great Dane who is one inch
shorter.
"The most common thing people ask is: 'Is that a dog or a
horse?'" says the three-year-old's owner Denise.
"We had to get a van to be able to transport him, oh, and if he
steps on your foot he leaves bruises!"
