Zeus was 44 inches tall. He was the tallest dog in the world according to Guinness World Records 2012. He weighed 165 pounds and ate a 30-pound bag of food every two weeks. When people saw him, they thought he was a horse.

Zeus brought a lot of fun to his family and to other people in Otsego in the US. His family took him to hospitals and schools to play with the old patients and students. Both the old and the children see Zeus as their friend. “He was really a good dog”, Doorlag, the dog’s owner told us.

However, something sad happened. Zeus died at home last week from the old age. He was nearly 6 years old at that time. The whole family will miss him and they will never forget the happy time with him.
