World's Largest Dog!

My friend Larry (AKA Booter, Boot Guy, etc) is working on a book about the history of the Guinness Book of World Records and has been sending me weekly emails of interesting records he's come across. He sent me this one today:

Hercules: The World's Biggest Dog Ever According to Guinness World Records Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff and who has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds. With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's standard 200lb. limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just grew"... and grew. and grew. and grew.

Looks kinda fake I know, but if it's good enough for Guinness it's good enough for me.
