Great story for a day when so many bad things are happening. I'm a Daney daddy as of April 19, 2011, and Canute, my Dane, was delivered to the Knkoxville, TN airport about an hour before we were hit by the great hail storm of 2011.
Not only is this a great article, it's an excerpt from Nasser's full length book about his life with Giant George, which is apprioriately named, Giant George. Just to do some pimping, the book's available on Kindle for $11.99.

Wonderful story. I had to laugh when I read that he was the “runt of the litter”. The runt?!! I wonder if his brother and sisters are bigger or if he just grew exrra-extra large? Thanks for posting, libstripper!

A dog so big that even a headline of a story about him is too big to fit.

Enjoy your Dane, they are the best dogs(IMO). My 3rd, Lady Mica is the runt. She`s only 150lb. My last male was 190lb. I can imagine having Giant George...lol.

OH, btw, a crib mattress or twin mattress(?) makes a great Dane bed. Most other large dog beds aren`t big enough. Even with those, those legs just dangle off..lol

“He’s terrified of chihuahuas.” - rightfully so. I’ve seen a pack of three chihuahuas take down a grizzly bear. Ferocious little beasts.

George is a lot of dog.
My Weimaraners aren't exactly petite, but I'd need a third one to match the total canine poundage.

Giant George is Beautiful! But nearly as spoiled rotten as my Linda! At least SHE only tips the scales at 60lbs!

question — don’t Great Dane’s live very short lives? 7 or 8 years?
