George, 7-ft-long Blue Great Dane, may be world's biggest dog
George, 7-ft-long Blue Great Dane, may be world's biggest dogA Blue Great Dane called George that stands at nearly 43 inches tall and weighs a staggering 111 kg, could become the tallest dog after an application to the Guinness Books of Records.
The four year-old dog's owners, David and Christine Nasser, have written to the Guinness World Records asking if their pet has become the biggest in the world.
The couple hope he will take the crown from the former record holder, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane who passed away from cancer last August.
George, who looks more like a miniature horse than a dog, measures almost the same, at 7 ft 3 inches from nose to tail and 42.625 inches at the shoulder.

OMG! George, who looks more like a miniature horse, with his owner David Nasser |
Facebook fansHe consumes 50 kg of food every month and sleeps alone in his own queen size bed.
The pet even has his own Facebook and Twitter pages for his fans.
"He's very, very unique," said David. Raising him from 7 weeks old in their own bed, he said the couple never expected him to grow so big.
But they eventually had to move him out when he grew too large for the three of them to share the same sheets.
