2013 Guinness World Records Animal Feats

When Denise Doorlag of Otsego, MI, wants to know the weather, she just needs to ask her dog Zeus. At 44 inches at the shoulder, Zeus is a long and lean 7 feet 4 inches when standing on his hind legs. The downside? "Everything costs more; the food, medicines, transport. We had to get a van to be able to transport him, oh, and if he steps on your foot — he leaves bruises!" Doorlag laments.
