Is your Best Friend a Record Breaker?

Every pet is a record- breaker in their own way but this pet made the Guinness World Records!  One week ago, Guinness World Records announced that “Giant George”, a blue Great Dane hailing from Tucson, Arizona, is the new Guinness World Record holder of the Tallest Dog title. The 4 1/2- year- old Dane measures 43 inches from paw to shoulder- ¾ in taller than the former Tallest Dog title-holder, Titan. “Giant George” weighs in at a massive 245lbs. and his owners, David and Christine Nasser, say he eats about 110 lbs. of dog food each month. From nose to tail, George measures in at a whopping 7ft 3in! George is living the good life with the Nasser’s who say that he even has his own Queen Size bed.

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.'

Craig Glenday, Editor-In-Chief of Guinness World Records said:
“This is a hotly contested record and after some controversy and conflicting media reports we decided to send our own official adjudicator to put the final stamp on this record holder. We can indeed say now that George is the top dog. This record has also sparked great interest in finding other pet records, so we’re asking everyone to check their dog houses, scratch posts and under the bed - they just might be living with a record-breaking pet!”
