  1. 5 biggest dogs in history Being a good dog is highly subjective and depends a lot on how long you chewed on your owner's shoes or recently pulled a pizza off the counter. However, a biggest dog breed is all about size and weight—objective metrics that can be compared to other dogs for the honor of the world's largest dog. It turned out that there were quite a few contenders. Take a look at our list of dogs that can run Clifford's money. 1. Zeus The title of tallest dog in the world depends on how people define "tallest". Considering the distance between the legs and shoulder blades, the lanky Great Dane is a frequent contender, and a Dane named Zeus was the greatest. Michigan resident Otsego stood 44 inches tall and could stand up to 7 feet 4 inches when standing on his hind legs. Zeus spent his time as a certified therapy dog and consoled people in nearby hospitals. As he walked, his owners were asked if he had a saddle. He died in 2015 at the age of 6; Guinness World Records recognized him as the world's longest dog in 2011, displacing another Great Dane, the Giant George, by an inch. He currently holds the record for the longest dog ever. 2. Freddy The current holder of the Guinness title for tallest dog is Freddy, a 40.75-inch Dane who lives in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England. In addition to a solid diet of ground beef (two pounds a day), casserole steak, and liver, Freddy tends to eat couches. Its owner, Claire Stoneman, told The Telegraph that Freddie destroyed 26 sofas (and more) in consultation with his sister Fleur. 3. Aikama Zorba This Old English Mastiff from London, England received Guinness marks in 2008 for being the tallest dog on record – a whopping eight feet from nose to tail as measured in 1987. Guinness also named Zorba as the world's heaviest dog, weighing in at 343 pounds. in 1989. Because male Mastiffs typically weigh 230 pounds or less, Zorba's waistlines far exceed the expectations of their breed. While he clearly would have been a social media star today, Zorba had to settle

  2. for photos, some of which can be seen in the video above, and an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman in 1989. 4. Boomer In 2009, the Associated Press described Boomer, a Landseer Newfoundland dog who stood 7 feet tall and weighed 180 pounds. While she doesn't exist like some of the others on this list (at 36 inches, she didn't meet the Guinness minimum of 40 inches to be considered a world record holder), Boomer was tall enough that her tail would bang things and counter to counter. But could drink from the kitchen tap without jumping. As a puppy, it grew so fast that abdominal surgery left stitches torn. He died in 2012 at the age of 6. 5. Euphrates It's a little early in the game to call the Euphrates a giant among the giants, but American Molossus is emerging as a contender. In March 2018, the "puppy," from Salt Lake City, Utah, was six feet on his hind legs and weighed more than 180 pounds. The Molossus is the result of the crossing of two formidable dogs: the English Mastiff and the Neapolitan. They are said to resemble the Molossus of Mesopotamia, a charming dog that dates back to 5000 BC. C. BC and was bred as a fighting dog by Alexander the Great. The Euphrates did not storm the battlefields, but its owner, Jared Hover, said that several car thefts in his neighborhood did not affect his vehicle, possibly as a result of a war dog being on the premises.
