- Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, his owner thinks she may have the world's tallest living dog.

“Where does Boomer sleep?”
Anywhere he WANTS to, LOL!
BIG dog
Oh...Boomer.
Never mind.
A kid who used to work with me claimed that his mom had the largest Newfie. He had a picture of it with its face next to a two year old neice... that really makes it look large!
TTINWP.
Nope. My neighbor runs a rescue for dogs and she has Harley, a great dane mix that weighed 240# when she got him, he bigger than this dog just by looking at him.
When he is in the kitchen he looks DOWN on the counter, my son was playing soccer there with their kids and Harley could mouth the soccer ball, he got his mouth completely around it. They had to quit after chasing him around the yard to get the ball back and it was a slobbery slippery mess.
Standing with all four feet on the floor, the kitchen sink is his water dish. How cool is that?
Well, DO have her send pix of Harley (with tape measure) to Guinness. A dog that big, you could ride.
They have pictures of Harley with a kids pony saddle on as a joke. A small child could easily ride him, we have all talked about doing it since they got him.
Remember: "Big dog - big log."
Lazy. Click on the link.
They’ve set it up so there is no GIF to point to.
They say he goes through 20 pounds of dog food in “2 weeks.”
Doesn’t that sound a bit on the low side for a woof-woof that huge? As a reference, I know that four cats eat 10 pounds of cat food in 2 weeks.
Had a guy across the street from us growing up that had a Bull Mastiff that he rode. I have never heard anything to this day that sounded like this dog howling, it was like something out of horror movie.
I’m glad I don’t have to clean up the dog poop in their yard. You probably would need a skid loader.
The neighbors had a great dane that could walk over the 4 foot fence. That guy was as big as a small horse.
I and my biggest fur baby are sharing chips and queso dip. He refuses to eat chips without dip. The two legged ones wanted leftover potato soup this morning before school so at least they ate a good breakfast.
I believe this one is taller ...
He’s a one dog night!
Had an Old English Mastiff as a kid. He got up to 220 lbs. and stood just under 30 in. He was a big boy; even took a hunk of flesh out of my armpit when I was a kid—complete accident.
The howl is very chilling, but when you can sleep soundly knowing there’s a very large, very protective dog in the house with you. I never worried about burglars with Pee Wee on the prowl.
Big dogs don’t really need a lot of food, surprisingly. Particularly Great Danes, which are known to have problems with gastric torsion.
I can’t see her hands, making me wonder if this was ‘Shopped. Most of the other “gigantic dog” spams have been Snoped.
I’m reminded of the old joke:
A burglar breaks into a house, and is about to start grabbing valuables when he hears an inhuman voice say “Jesus is watching you”. He looks around, but sees no one. He turns back to his work, and hears the voice again: “Jesus is watching you”. He starts to get nervous, and glances around again, but again sees nothing. He again is about to bag up the goods, and again hears the voice. This time, he can tell where in the room it came from, and realizes that it came from a birdcage. He goes over to the cage, and sees that inside is a large parrot. On the outside of the cage is a small plaque with the name “Moses” on it. The burglar comments “what kind of people would name a parrot Moses?” To which the parrot replies “The same kind of people who would name a mastiff Jesus”.
Imagine the farts.
I have the sweetest Cocker Spaniel named Boomer. I affectionately call him Boomy. He loves to attack sprinklers and play fetch. He hates geese and crows, though.
Walking large dogs is like open-carry while grocery shopping. I miss my mastiff, but they are a lot of work.
