Check out the 7foot giant dog vying for the world's tallest dog title

Towering over his owners as they sit on their sofa, guys, meet the huge Great Dane who could soon be crowned the world's tallest dog.

Three-year-old pet Major is more than seven foot tall when on his hind legs and weighs a whopping 12-stone - 76kg.

The huge dog sleeps for 22 hours each day on his adult-sized mattress and eats a special diet mainly consisting of chicken and rice.

His owners, Brian and Julie Williams from Penmaen, south Wales, say he may look intimidating but
he wouldn't hurt a fly.

They are waiting for confirmation he is the world's tallest dog and officials from Guinness will visit them and two other dogs before announcing the new record holder.
