Giant George - World's Tallest Dog? (4 photos)

Meet Giant George, the Blue Great Dane who could be the world's tallest dog. The gentle giant stands at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighs a staggering 245lbs. The four-year-old measures 7ft 3in from nose to tail.

George's owners David and Christine Nasser raised George from when he was 7 weeks old, but never expected him to grow so big. The couple eventually had to move George out of their king-sized bed when he grew too large for the three of them to share the same sheets. Now, he sleeps alone in his own queen-size bed.

David and Christine are awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records to see if George is the world's new tallest dog. 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."

Comment by Mark Huckabee on December 28, 2009 at 10:15am: Horses are herbivores. Their poop doesn't stink like that of omnivores and carnivores. Dogs eat meat and I know from personal experience (my Lucy is 90 lbs.) that it stinks!

Comment by Eugene on December 28, 2009 at 9:50am: Hahaha...you guys crack me up....

Comment by Inka Leoni on December 28, 2009 at 9:40am: I'd most prbl stop in my tracks if i'd see that dog in real.
And...pooper scoopers...how many does that guy need to bring with him when he's walking the dog?

I'd go for Marks' backhoe and dump truck suggestion.

Comment by Dijana on December 28, 2009 at 9:24am: come on Mark..its like having a horse at home :)

Comment by Mark Huckabee on December 28, 2009 at 4:40am: I seriously do NOT want to be cleaning up after that dog! You'd need a backhoe and a dump truck!
