Giant George is tallest dog ever
- Tweet
GUINESS World Records says a Great Dane in the US standing 3 feet, 7 inches (1.09 metres) tall from paw to shoulder is the tallest dog ever on record.
Giant George, who lives in Tuscon, is three-quarters of an inch (2 centimetres) taller than his closest rival - Titan, a white Great Dane from San Diego.
Guinness officials say there were conflicting reports about Giant George's height, so they sent a judge to verify it.
The 4-year-old, 250-pound (115-kg) blue Great Dane is owned by David Nasser.
