Giant George

Giant George was a blue Great Dane previously recognised as the world's tallest living dog, and the tallest dog ever by Guinness World Records. There were originally conflicting media reports regarding his height, but the official measurement showed that he was three-quarters of an inch taller than the previous record holder, Titan (at at the withers) and an inch shorter than the subsequent record holder, Zeus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=By Zeus! 7'4 Great Dane and 2’6 bull from Armagh in latest Guinness Book of Records )〕 His records were announced as he appeared on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'' in February 2010.
==Biography==
George was born on November 17, 2005, and was owned by David Nasser since George was 7 weeks old. While measured 42 5/8 inches high (109 cm) at the midpoint of the neck and wrongly advertised by Guinness as 43 inches at the withers, his legitimate height was 39 1/8 inches (99 cm) at the withers according to GPCA Illustrated Standard and he weighed , which is about more than an average Great Dane.〔 At the time of his death, Giant George resided in Tucson, Arizona.
At home he slept in a queen-sized bed, and one of his hobbies was to ride around his family's neighborhood in a golf cart.〔 While traveling to Chicago for his 2010 appearance on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'', George was given a row of three airline seats to himself. He caused a commotion with fellow passengers visiting him to take photographs. "There were so many people coming to the front of the plane, the pilot ended up illuminating the 'fasten seat belt' sign to get everyone to sit down," explained his owner, David.〔 During the flight, George along with David and wife Christine had to sit in the bulkhead, the partition that divides first class from the rest of the passengers. They were to fly first class on American Airlines, but they found that there wasn't enough room for George and instead flew the following day.〔
George died on October 17, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tucson's Giant George passes away )
