World's Tallest Dog

Standing
at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighing a staggering
245lbs could this be the world's new tallest dog? Pictured here in the
parks of Tuscon, Arizona, George, a four-year-old blue great dane,
looks more like a miniature horse than a dog. More images after a
break.......
'Giant George' and owner Dave Nasser share a couch
together: The four-year-old blue great dane, weighs a staggering 245lbs
and measures almost 43ins at the shoulder. The gentle giant, who
measures 7ft 3ins from nose to tail, could be a prime contender to take
the title from the former record holder, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane
who passed away from cancer last August.


Now George's owners, David and
Christine Nasser, are awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records
to see if he has achieved the lofty heights.



'He's 42.625 inches at the shoulder,' said David. 'He's very very unique.'



According to David, George
consumes 110lbs of food every month, and sleeps alone in his own Queen
Size Bed. David and Christine raised George from when he was 7 weeks
old, but never expected him to grow so big.



The couple eventually had to move
their aptly named dog out of their king sized bed, when he grew too
large for the three of them to share the same sheets.



Dr. William Wallace of the
Buena Pet Clinic in Tucson, who witnessed the documentation necessary
for the Guinness record, said: 'In my 45 years of experience working
with giant breed dogs, without question, George is the tallest dog I
have ever seen.'



David is currently rushing to
get that necessary documentation into Guinness as other dog owners are
coming forth claiming the record. As they wait for the results to come
through, George is busy occupying himself with his new found stardom
and even has a Facebook fan page and Twitter accounts for his adorning
fans. It appears as though the sky's the limit for this mammoth hound.




Paws for thought: George's giant feet
dwarf his owner Dave Nassar's hand. Last August the worldís tallest
dog, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane, passed away from cancer
