If you feel self-conscious about your height, well, this story isn’t going to help in that department. It’s all about the winner of a Guinness World Record for height…and it doesn’t even involve a human. Nope. A dog did it. Get ready to be envious.
Zeus is a 2-year-old Great Dane from Bedford, Texas. He measures an impressive 3 feet, 5.18 inches, earning him the title of Tallest Dog in the World.
To get that big, Zeus is on a serious body-building diet. Just kidding. He eats 12 cups of Gentle Giants dog food every day. On his cheat days, he treats himself to a fried egg, bully sticks, or ice cubes.
“He’s been a big dog since we got him, even for a puppy. He had huge paws,” his owner Brittany Davis told CNN. She received Zeus as a gift from her brother when the brown and gray pup was only 8 weeks old.
Now, everyone knows his name, and his stature has made him a local celebrity.
“The comment that we hear most often is ‘Wow, that’s a horse!,’ ‘Can I ride him?’ or ‘Does he have a saddle?'” Davis said. “The answer to all those questions is ‘no.'”
Shucks. We really wanted to saddle him up and take him for a ride. We definitely don’t want to take him for a walk – can you imagine all the women fawning over him just for being tall? Pfft.
There is one thing we can console our green-eyed monsters with: Great Danes, which descended from hunting dogs in the Middle Ages, may be massive, but they also have shorter life spans than other dogs (and considerably shorter lifespans than humans of any height, obviously). A previous Tallest Dog record holder kicked the bucket at age 8.
Ah, well. We think we’ll stick to smaller dogs that make us as owners look bigger.
