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

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!

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