You’re probably sick and tired of hearing me talk about how big everything is in the U.S. compared to Italy. Well, it’s not just houses, cars and people. Meet George, a four-year old blue Great Dane with aspirations to become the Guinness Book of World Records title holder for World’s Tallest Dog. I think he’s got a good chance. He’s even from Arizona!

George and Diane Nasser from Tucson knew that their 7-week-old Great Dane puppy would grow up to be a big dog, but according to news sources, they had No Idea just how big he would become. Here are a few of his stats: 7’3″ long from nose to tail tip; 42.625″ tall at the shoulder; weight 245 pounds. That’s a lotta pooch, with an appetite to match. George eats 110 pounds of dog food every month. You can learn more about this enormous canine here.

The U.S.A.: Home of the Brave? Maybe – I hope so! – but definitely Home of the Big.
An Ex-Expatriate 
And I’m thinking that if George would come to our house for a visit, our fierce 10 lb., 3 legged protector would think he could take him on. There is a certain lack of the sense of reality in the mind of my wee dog!
Actually, he makes friends with every dog he meets, but does so from my arms when we greet anything bigger than a terrier.
I’ve always thought that the smaller the dog, the bigger the attitude. Must have something to do with compensation…
All I’m thinking is that if George would come to our house for a visit, Mister B would take it as his job security of watchdog being threatened. Maddie, on the otherhand, would be enthralled.
Rowena, don’t you wonder how a dog the size of Mr. B or Maddie even knows that something like George is also a dog? I’ve always wondered about that.
