A Great Dane dog was named the world’s tallest by the Guinness book of records.

The dog named Zeus weighs 155 pounds (just over 70 kilos) and reaches a staggering height of 7 feet 4 inches (2 meters 23 centimeters) standing on its hind legs.

The owner called Denise Doorlag of Michigan (USA) says that little children often believe that Zeus, three years old, is a horse.

Ms. Doorlag added that the most common reaction in people when they see Zeus, who eats more than 13 kilos of food every day, is to wonder.

“We often hear: Hey have a saddle for the horse? Or, Is it a dog or a pony? Some people are simply awestruck. It’s fun,” she adds.
