A 250-pound blue Great Dane from Arizona gives new meaning to the term “big dog.”
Guinness World Records says Giant George from Tucson is the
tallest dog ever on record.
Guinness said Monday that he stands 3 feet, 7 inches tall from
paw to shoulder, which is three-quarters of an inch taller than his
closest rival — Titan, a white Great Dane from San Diego.
The 4-year-old Titan took the title of world’s tallest dog in
2009 after Gibson, a Great Dane from Grass Valley, Calif., died of
bone cancer.
Guinness officials say there were conflicting reports about
Giant George’s height, so they sent a judge to verify it.
The 4-year-old is owned by David Nasser.
