Did any of you see this on the Oprah Show yesterday? The biggest and smallest dogs in the world. I have never seen anything like it before. The the big one stiffest the wee one it was so cute, she was not even as long as his nose. When traveling to the show on a regular plane he had his own seat. Both owners said they had never intended to have their pets grow to become the largest and smallest. What do you think of these guys? I'll post the photo of the big guy and then if anyone makes a comment I'll try and post the tiny baby.
Gibson isn't your average 5-year-old. He holds the Guinness record as the world's biggest dog! When measured in 2004, this Great Dane was 42 inches from his paws to his shoulders…but his owner, Sandy, says he's grown over an inch since then!When Gibson is on his hind legs, he's 7'2"—that's an inch taller than NBA all-star Shaquille O'Neal.
Now that you've met the world's biggest dog, meet the smallest. Brandy, a 3-year-old Chihuahua, is here with Jessica and her owners, Paulette and Brian.
Tiny Brandy is about the size of a candy bar—and not even a king-size one!

Beautiful dog! I always wanted a Great Dane! If I ever get a home with a yard, I want to rescue a Great Dane. They are such wonderful and sweet dogs, but I want to make sure I have plenty of room for him/her to run! :)

I loved that show. Gibson was such a huge dog! The look on Oprah's face when he stood with his paws on her shoulders was great!

This is something I see almost every day. There is a field across the street from me that belongs to and is maintained by the township. People walk ther dogs there. One of the neighbors has a dog the size of a horse and another has a little chihuahua. they usually come about the same time and the dogs know and greet each other. The y are not the absolute biggest and smallest but they are very different in size and it's the cutest thing to see them together..
