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 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.

That's big bad boy!!! Probably a gentle giant though.

Any other pics? That picture looks strange.

But... I do have a 47lb pug so anything's possible.

Apparently fake. Sunking is on the ball today.

I didn't look too hard at it.

yup, not an actual english mastiff, just a good photoshop

apparently the original mastiff (anglo-saxon) wardog breed which has disappeared were monstrous, bigger than irish wolfhounds, imagine having one of those things thundering towards you!
