Meet The World's Tallest Dog

Via The Washington Post

Brittany Davis longed for a big dog, and she had her heart set on one of the largest and lankiest of all: a Great Dane.

She got her wish in February 2020, though it was not how she thought it would happen. Her brother, Garrett Davis, knocked on her door and handed her a 3-month-old, gray-and-white American Great Dane with floppy jowls and soft fur.

Her brother got him from a friend whose dog had recently had a litter of five. The pup weighed about 25 pounds, and Davis’s eyes immediately focused on his enormous paws.

Davis said she knew early on that Zeus was going to be a supersized dog because of his huge paws. He also had an enormous appetite.

“He’s always loved to eat, and now he’s up to 10 to 12 cups of dry food twice a day,” she said, adding that Zeus also loves to chomp on carrots, fried eggs, deer antlers and ice cubes.

“He especially loves to steal my son’s breakfast when he leaves it out,” said Davis, who has two boys, Jamison, 15, and Kingston, 7 months.
