Meet 'Giant George' the 7ft-long blue great Dane who could be the world's tallest

dog.  Standing at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighing a

staggering 245 lbs could this be the world's new tallest dog! 

Pictured here in the parks of Tucson , Arizona , George , a four-year-old blue

great Dane, looks more like a miniature horse than a dog. 

 

 

The gentle giant, who measures 7 feet 3 inches from nose to tail, he could be a prime

contender to take the title from the former record holder, Gibson , a harlequin Great

Dane who passed away from cancer last August. 
  
Now George 's owners, David and Christine Nasser , are awaiting confirmation from

Guinness World Records to see if he has achieved the lofty heights. He's 42.625

inches at the shoulder,' 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.   
  
David and Christine raised George from when he was 7 weeks old, but never expected

him to grow so big! 

 

 

 

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.'   
  
David is currently rushing to get that necessary documentation into Guinness as

other dog owners are coming forth claiming the record. As they wait for the results

to come through, George is busy occupying himself with his new found stardom and

even has a Facebook fan page and Twitter accounts for his adorning fans. 
  
It appears as though the sky's the limit for this mammoth hound. 

 

 

Paws for thought: George 's giant feet dwarf his owner Dave Nassar 's hand.
