Owner Brittany Davis said she always dreamed of having a Great Dane named Zeus and was overjoyed when her brother gave her the puppy when he was just eight weeks old. Although she was initially nervous about his large size, she soon fell in love with him.
Davis told Guinness World Records: “He’s been a big dog since we got him, even for a puppy. He had huge paws.”
Zeus’ Olympic Diet includes 12 cups of “Gentle Giants” dog food every day, as well as the occasional fried egg. His all-time favorite treat is ice cubes, Davis said.
The brown and gray colossus is now a local celebrity, showered with attention and treats when he and his human visit Dallas Farmer’s Market.
“The most common comment we hear is ‘Wow, that’s a horse!’, ‘Can I ride it?’ or ‘Does he have a saddle?’” Davis said. “The answer to all these questions is ‘no’.”
According to American Kennel Club , Danes are descended from hunting dogs of the Middle Ages. While they are known to excel over other breeds, they are prone to some health conditions and tend to have a shorter lifespan than other dogs.
Last year, Freddy, a Great Dane once celebrated by Guinness World Records as the tallest dog in the world, has died aged 8.
The dog, who lived in Essex, England, measured 103.5 centimeters of foot to the withers. When standing on its hind legs, it towered over people at 226 centimeters.
The tallest dog ever recorded was also a Great Dane named Zeus, according to Guinness. He stood at 3 feet, 10 inches (111.8 centimeters).
