'Giant George' the 7ft-long blue great dane

[Still Waters 44,922]

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.

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.

WOW, I can only imagine the monthly cost to keep that beast fed.

the difficult part would be trying to stop it from eating you.

[UltraThunderMan 6]

Thats a decent sized dog.

[conspiracybeliever 7]

Isn't he beautiful! I love Great Danes.

Oh, man...I miss my Dane so much. She wasn't nearly as big as this guy--from the top of her head to her feet she was four feet tall. They're wonderful, the world's biggest lapdogs (as you can see from the picture). And don't worry--they won't eat you. They'll eat the guy breaking into your house.

That dog cold clean my face with 1 straight lick of his tongue.

I wub Great Danes and would have one if they didn't leave such enormous steaming piles in the backyard.

I have a friend that's always kept two great danes, none as huge as this dude obviously. She's had some with weak builds who died very young, and others with good builds that lived into their double-digits. I have to say... George is well muscled and beautifully proportioned, he looks more healthy than a lot of normal sized Danes I've known! He's lovely! Danes are such big sweet lugs.

Dang! That dog could bite the man's head off! I hope they have that beast potty trained!

I think the photos have been edited to make the perspective look like the size difference between the owner and dog is greater, the first one looks very artificial to me.

I also noticed the owner seems to have a pee stain on the inside of his left pant leg.

That dog cold clean my face with 1 straight lick of his tongue.

lol yeah i thought the first one was a bit over done too. And I just noticed the stain now you mentioned it lol. I guess it wasnt the dog that peed on him cause the guy would have drowned
