Bet some of you didn't know there was a 'World's tallest dog'. I just discovered this myself.
Certified by the Guiness Book of World Records, the tallest dog living is Gibson, a Harlequin Great Dane who measured 107 cm (42.2 in) tall on August 31 2004 and is owned by Sandy Hall of Grass Valley, California, USA.
When he stands on his hind legs, the 170-pound Dane is more than 7 feet tall, taller than most NBA basketball players. The image above shows Gibson standing with his Veterinarian.
I love dogs, but go near a dog taller than me? Lai lai!!!
