How much does Boomer the dog, a Newfoundland breed, weigh at three years old?
Measuring one meter at the shoulders and 2.1 meters long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world’s tallest living dog. Caryn Weber says her three-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen tap in her family’s farm house in eastern North Dakota. Boomer can stare into a car window eye to eye with a driver. A nine kilogram bag of dry dog food lasts the 81 kilogram canine a couple of weeks. Weber says the fluffy black and white dog “comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around.” Weber plans to send Boomer’s measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 1.2 meter tall Great Dane that died this summer. Sources: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/meet-boomer-the-worlds-biggest-dog-20091008-gohv.
