The World's Tallest Dog Has Died

Gibson, a Great Dane from California, has died. He was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as standing 7 feet, 1 inch on his hind legs. He battled bone cancer and fought bravely to survive, even after having one of his legs amputated. I read this story on MSNBC.com if you want to read more about it. How sad! Great Danes are obviously a large breed of dog and often have health problems due to their size. According to Dogs 101 on Animal Planet, Great Danes are prone to heart problems because their hearts cannot support such a massive body. If you want more information about the breed, let me know and I will be happy to point you in the right direction! Thanks for reading!
