Tallest dog in the world

On November 12th, Titan, a four-year old white Great Danefrom San Diego, CA was named the 'World's Tallest Dog' by the Guinness Book of Records.

Measuring at a height of 42.25 inches from his front paw to his shoulder (and another 8 inches if you add his massive head), Titan took over the title from 7-year old Gibson, who died earlier this year, after battling bone cancer.

Adopted from a shelter when he was a puppy, the gentle giant suffers from many ailments - He is blind, deaf and prone to epileptic seizures. However, his owner Taylor loves him, and believes he is magical! We say yay to that!
