Great Dane from Michigan is world's tallest dog

OTSEGO, Mich. (AP) — A Great Dane from Michigan is doggone tall.
The Guinness World Records 2013 book published Thursday recognizes Zeus of Otsego, Mich., as the world's Tallest Dog.
The 3-year-old measures 44 inches from foot to shoulder.
Standing on his hind legs, Zeus stretches to 7-foot-4 and towers over his owner, Denise Doorlag. Zeus is just an inch taller than the previous record-holder, Giant George.
Zeus weighs 155 pounds and eats a 30-pound bag of food every two weeks.
Doorlag says she had to get a van to be able to transport Zeus.

Great Dane's are such gentle giants. Ours is a huge couch potato. When I used to walk him up to the elementary school to pick up my kids all the other kids would just flock around him. They all thought he was part horse. lol I love the breed, but hubby has a house rule now that our next dog has to poop smaller than we do.......yard clean up is NASTY!!! hahahaha We lost our shepherd last December and recently I have been lobbying for another dog. So poop detail has been discussed quite a bit lately.........

They are some of the coolest dogs. So big, yet so freindly and playful, and gentle while playing too. It's like they know their size and don't want to hurt anything. Love them!
