Giant George - Holder Of The World Record Tallest Dog

Giant George has acquired the current title for world record tallest dog as well as the tallest canine ever as is certified by Guinness. A Great Dane of immense height, the measurements that this pet has established were at first conflicting as is featured by the media who are covering his progress. The actually and precise measurements where, however, established during his appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2010.

Currently living in Tucson, Arizona, this lovable giant has been in the care of David Nasser since the time when he was seven. Giant George was born on the seventh of November of 2005. Based on his current measurements, at one hundred pounds, his weight of two hundred and forty-five pounds has been considered about a hundred pounds or forty-five kilograms heavier than any average Great Dane.

Conflicting reports were published and aired about the actual measurements that he has acquired. The media covering him were able to send out varied results where his measurements are concerned so, the verdict was actually suspended until a judge, and official representative from Guinness was sent out to determine and verify his actual measurements and to determine if he indeed gets the title.

Though he may be very big for his species, just like any normal pet, George loves playing around, especially through riding on a golf cart around the family’s neighborhood. Just like any pet as well, he always loved a good rest and whenever he feels sleepy and would like to enjoy some time lying down or taking a nap, he usually does this at his own queen-sized bed.

Being the world record tallest dog, he always tends to attract commotion whenever he is in the vicinity, A lot of people always find it hard to resist the urge of coming over and seeing him at a shorter distance or take snapshots of him or photographs with him. Even the confines of an airliner will not put people at bay, especially since they get to see such a record holder in flesh.

In his recent travel for a media appearance that is scheduled in Chicago, George has to be seated on a row composed of three seats just to make sure he fits in. People who were rushing in to his seat just to take a photograph or two have been swarming at such a great number that all the airplane captain could do is flash the light that warns passengers to fasten their seat belts on to restore order in the place.

During this flight, George’s owners, David, along with his wife, Christine, and George himself have to sit in the bulkhead of the plane. They were supposed to fly on first-class, but considering how there is not enough room for George to be comfortable with, they have to endure the whole flight while being seated in the area that serves as a partition dividing the first-class from the other passengers.

Although George has been officially introduced to the public as the world record tallest dog upon his appearance on Oprah’s show on February 22, of 2010, he has actually been secretly awarded with the record on the tenth of that month. Producers of Oprah’s show just asked people and those who knew about it to keep mum about the award until they get to have the adorable George appear on their show.
