The Tallest Dog in the World



The Guinness Book of World records has crowned a new Tallest Dog in the World. he is a great Dane, or maybe we should call him a great big Dane, named Kevin. Kevin has been measured at three feet and two inches tall at the withers. Kevin is a lot taller when he stands on his hind legs!

Kevin is the beloved pet of Tracy and Roger Wolfe of West Des Moines, Iowa, and lives with the couple and their two children, plus cats, dogs, goats, chickens, and horses. Kevin towers over their miniature horse. He can simply step over a baby gate used to corral the other dogs. But this dog doesn't think of himself as oversized; he's just part of the family. You can read more about this gentle giant at Smithsonian.

  4. "Editor’s note: After this story published, The Washington Post learned that Kevin unexpectedly died Wednesday morning from complications following emergency surgery for a gastric problem. The Wolfe family asks that Kevin be celebrated both for the stature he achieved and his short but meaningful life."
