Biggest dog in the world: Meet George the 7ft long Great Dane... who's terrified of chihuahuas By Dave Nasser Created: 23:16 GMT, 22 July 2011 The first time we saw George, our beloved Great Dane, he was no more than a tiny, cowering ball of fuzzy fur. As my wife Christie opened the door of the crate he’d travelled in, he teetered to a standing position and looked out at us, moving his head slowly from side to side, taking in the wonder of it all. Finally, as if weighing us up and deciding we were acceptable, he tentatively pushed his little nose forward and gave Christie her first lick. Man's biggest friend: Devoted owner Dave Nasser with George, the world's biggest dog Though it didn’t really register, George’s paws were comically large even then. We certainly never dreamed he would one day become the biggest dog in the world, standing nearly 4ft high at the shoulder, 7ft long and weighing nearly 18 stone. He came into our lives in January 2006, just a few months after we had married and set up home in Arizona. Puppy love: A young George with Dave's wife Christie.

Why &034;Outdoor Dogs&034; Are Miserable - Vetstreet What compels people get a dog only to keep it isolated outside, away from the family? I have often wondered this as I walk my dogs down streets lined with fences behind which lonely outdoor dogs bark as we go by. I don't know what they look like and can only guess their size by the deepness of their voices. The experts say many of these dogs will never really bond with owners who interact with them so little.When the puppy is no longer cute and the children grow tired of the care they promised to provide, when the destructiveness escalates or the neighbors complain about the noise, it's often just easier to dump the dog than solve the problem. I have always had difficulty understanding why people want to keep dogs outside. You don't get the benefits of companionship from a dog you see so little. Outdoor dogs often become a problem to their owners. If you have a dog who has been banished because of behavior problems, find someone to help you turn the situation around.

The body language and the voice tonality is a bit like the rest of the iceberg, the great mass below the tip of the words we use. “Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.” Now these things may not be easy to avoid all together. 6. 8. 9.
