| Giant George taking a load off |
David and Christine Nasse are the proud owners of a 4-year-old great dane named George. The dog, it so happens, is a couple inches taller than Shaq, when standing on his hind-legs, and is under consideration by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest dog.
George weighs 245 pounds and stands an incredible 7 feet, 3 inches tall. According to Nasse, George eats more than 110 pounds of food each month and sleeps in his own queen- size bed.
The Nasses are rushing to file the paperwork to have George considered for the Guinness record because the former record holder, a great dane named Gibson, died in August after a battle with cancer.
Gibson was 7 feet, 1 inch tall when standing on his hind legs, though when standing on all-fours, both dogs measured about 42 inches from shoulders to floor.
Other dogs are filing with Guinness for a shot at canine-immortality, but George, it seems, is the front-runner.
George is becoming a bit of a camera hound, given his new-found fame. He has posed for spreads in In Touch magazine and even has his own pages on Facebook and Twitter. Check him out here.
