Oh my word! What kind of dog is he? I remember seeing the world's largest & smallest dogs together (was that on Oprah, too? Maybe...).

Wow, the neighbors 13 year arthritic dog almost bowls me over when she wants to play. I'd hate to see this dog! I can't picture one that big/heavy.

A friend met Giant George. She said he is very gentle and mannerly. Giant George lives across the street from her brother.

I had a Great Dane back in the day (Sherman... because he was as big as a tank). He was gentle & mannerly. Also rather aloof. Not particularly lovey but since I'm only 5' tall, that was OK because he could've sent me flying had he been too affectionate!

I thought my guy was big, 5 months old in avatar pic, and he has knocked me over, unintentionally though, while playing at the dog park
