Outline Email claims that attached photographs show "Giant George" a massive 7ft-long (2.13 meters) blue great dane that lives in Tuscon, Arizona. Brief Analysis The photographs are genuine and the information in the email is factual. George is 7ft 3ins (2.2 meters) from nose to tail and measures over 42 inches (1.06 meters) at the shoulder. At the time of writing, George's owners were awaiting final confirmation from Guinness World Records that will record the dog as the tallest and largest in the world. Meet 'Giant George' the 7ft-long blue great dane who could be the world's tallest dog Standing at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighing a staggering 245lbs could this be the world's new tallest dog? Pictured here in the parks of Tuscon , Arizona , George, a four-year-old blue great dane, looks more like a miniature horse than a dog. Detailed Analysis At first glance, many people are likely to assume that these emailed images of a gigantic Great Dane are the result of digital tomfoolery. However, the images are in fact genuine photographs and George, the massive canine featured in the images, is a real, living and breathing animal. George was featured in an article published on the UK's Daily Mail Online in December 2009. The article notes: The gentle giant, who measures 7ft 3ins from nose to tail, could be a prime contender to take the title from the former record holder, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane who passed away from cancer last August. Now George's owners, David and Christine Nasser, are awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records to see if he has achieved the lofty heights. The photographs, along with the text in the email forward were apparently taken from this Daily Mail article. Giant George was also featured in an October 2009 Fox News article and on a large number of other news sites, blogs and online communities. According to George's website, an official measurement procedure took place in October 2009 "to confirm George's status as tallest dog in the world". At the time of writing, George is apparently waiting for final confirmation of his "tallest dog" status from Guinness World Records. George has starred in several YouTube videos, including the one below: George is not the only dog that has become something of an Internet sensation in recent years. Photographs of Wendy, an extremely muscular bully whippet, have circulated via email and the Internet since 2007.

Nježni div iz Tuscona u Arizoni mogao bi biti novi najveći pas na svijetu. Njegova dužina od nosa do repa iznosi više od dva metra, njegova dužina od šape do ramena više od jednoga metra, a teži više od 110 kilograma. Četverogodišnji George više nalikuje poniju nego psu, a njegovi vlasnici David i Christine Nasser čekaju potvrdu iz Guinnessove knjige rekorda da je njihov ljubimac doista najveći na svijetu, piše Daily Telegraph. Svaki mjesec pojede 50 kilograma hrane, a spava u vlastitom krevetu 'kraljevskih' proporcija. David i Christine počeli su se brinuti o Georgeu kada je imao tek sedam tjedana, ali nisu ni sanjali da će narasti tako velik. Prethodni rekorder, njemačka doga Gibson bio je visok 2.18. Preminuo je u kolovozu od raka kostiju.
