I was sent this by my BIL a while back. I'm cleaning out my inbox and came across it again. This is one BIG dog!

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
> 200 lb. 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.
> (I'm curious that if Hercules took off running - would his owner truly be
> able to hold onto him by the leash?)
