World’s Tallest Dog Dies

Gibson, the world’s tallest dog has sadly passed away.

Gibson, the Great Dane was officially recognised as the world’s tallest dog in 2004 when officials from the Guinness Book of Records measured his height as 42.4 inches at the shoulders. When on his hind legs Gibson towered over seven feet in height!

In May Gibson had one of his front legs amputated when he was diagnosed with bone cancer. Vets were confident the operation would mean Gibson stood a much higher chance of surviving the disease. But sadly last week vets confirmed that the cancer had spread and Gibson was put to sleep, the National Post reports.

A website for condolences has been set up here.
