One big dog

He's a big 'un, alright! And, one of the few "giant pet" stories that is actually true.

One thing threw me about the article, though - for an American writer who uses standard Imperial measurements the use of "stone" for mass (weight) is quite odd. You rarely see it used nowadays.

(Don't mind me - I just have sensitive antennae)
 

Such a beautiful animal.
Large dogs don't live all that long. A sad fact is a great danes average life expectancy is 6-8 years.
 
What a sweet story!

I wonder how many people found themselves pinned down for licks and loves. Better yet, I wonder how many laps he has tried to sit on, without realizing he was no longer a puppy!


This dog reminds me of an elephant I knew, many years ago.

I met him at the local renaissance festival when he was still a juvenile. Every weekend afternoon, he walked right past my shop, and I gave him an apple if he had been well behaved during the mid-day parade.

The elephant, Caesar, did not understand his size until he discovered he could reach tree branchse, pulling them off then waving them back and forth at the crowd along the parade route. I think he liked the reaction of the crowd. The ladies shrieked and the men spilled their beers.

He never slept inside, though.
