Texas is currently home to the tallest living dog as recorded by the Guinness World Records according to an ABC 13 News article from May 9 which reports
“A Texas Great Dane may only be two years old, but he’s already breaking records.
Zeus is now the world’s tallest living dog according to Guinness World Records. The pooch is a little over 3’5″ on all fours.
With his large size, Zeus eats 12 cups of dog food daily, and an occasional fried egg.”
Zeus’ owner, Brittany Davis at first couldn’t believe it that their dog became the tallest in the world as she continuously entertains people asking if about Zeus according to an NBC 5 DFW article from May 5. They say,
“He’s been a big dog since we got him, even for a puppy,” Brittany told Guinness. “He had huge paws.”
“We never thought we would own the largest living dog.”
“The comment that we hear most often is ‘Wow, that’s a horse!’ ‘Can I ride him?’ or ‘Does he have a saddle?'” she told Guinness. “The answer to all those questions is ‘no.'”
And now when people say, “Wow, that’s the tallest dog I’ve ever seen,” Brittany says it’ll be fun to say he’s definitely the tallest dog anyone could see.
Coincidentally, the tallest dog in the world before Zeus was also named Zeus and is also a Great Dane that stood at 3’4″ but came from the United Kingdom.
