Size does matter...




Did we ever tell you how big he was?
At his peak, before he became ill, he was around 140lbs - big for the breed, but a powerful, gentle giant that truly believed that he was a lap dog - the world's biggest, mind you, as this image will clearly show. Perspective tends to exacerbate his size in this picture, but I think you get the idea. And no, I am not a small man; I'm almost 6' 1". Made for some great wrassling matches between us. Once he was an adult, I do not believe I "won" a single contest. His front paws, especially, were enormous and the power in this animal was something else. Naturally, he had no idea that he was big and to some people, quite intimidating.
