I am so in love with the newly crowned World’s Tallest Dog: Giant George the Great Dane! Of course, he’s a Great Dane, what’s not to love? But this guy has twice as much to offer as most Danes. He weighs in at 245 pounds (my teeny little delicate Ferdinand only weighs 107 pounds and my largest Dane, Norman, only weighed 180) and is 7′3″ from the tip of his handsome nose to the end of his billy club of a tail.

As much as I love Giant George, I don’t envy his people’s food bills. George eats more than my Great Dane’s entire weight every month — about 110 pounds in kibble, which costs a princely $250 to $300. I also don’t envy the amount of real estate they’ve had to give up in their home; George has his own queen size bed. But the joys of having such an enormous snuggle buddy to ride shotgun in the golf cart more than makes up for those minor inconveniences I’m sure.
