111kg (17st 7lb), George, a four-year-old Great Dane, (owner
David Nasse) measures 2.3m (7ft 3in) from nose to tail, and
sets the new world record for the Tallest

said David. 'He's very very unique.' According to David, George
consumes 110lbs of food every month, and sleeps alone in his
own Queen Size Bed.
Mr Nasser and wife Christine have
raised George from when he was seven weeks old but never expected
him to be so big. They even had to move George out of their
king-sized bed, when he grew too large to share the same sheets.
‘In my 45 years of experience working with
giant breed dogs, without question George is the tallest
dog I have ever seen,’ said US canine expert Dr William
Wallace.
George is busy occupying himself with
his new found stardom and even has a website,
a Facebook
fan page and a Twitter
account for his adorning fans.
