OTSEGO, Mich. (AP) — The Guinness World Records 2013 book published Thursday recognizes Zeus of Otsego, Mich., as the World’s Tallest Dog.
The three-year-old measures 44 inches from foot to shoulder.
Standing on his hind legs, Zeus stretches to 7-foot-4 and towers over his owner, Denise Doorlag. Zeus is just an inch taller than the previous record-holder, Giant George.
Zeus weighs 155 pounds and eats a 30-pound bag of food every two weeks.
