World's tallest dog from Otsego dies at age 5

14 hours ago

OTSEGO, Mich. (AP) — The Great Dane from Michigan that held the title of world's tallest dog has died at age 5.

Owner Kevin Doorlag told the Kalamazoo Gazette that Zeus made his debut in the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records as the tallest living dog. Zeus was 44 inches tall at the shoulder and 7 feet, 4 inches on his hind legs.

Zeus weighed 165 pounds and ate a 30-pound bag of food every two weeks, the Battle Creek Enquirer reported.

Doorlag, of Otsego, said the entire family will miss Zeus.

That was an awesome video. I'm glad the owners used him for good, doing charity work if I heard that correctly.

Thanks for posting!

Peace

So sad that big dogs have such short life spans. The people he lived with sure made his life nice.
