ND Woman's 7-Foot-Long Dog Could Be Record Holder
Previous Record Holder Was 4-Foot-Tall Great Dane

Casselton, N.D. -- Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world's tallest living dog.

Owner Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family's eastern North Dakota farm house.

Boomer stares into car windows eye to eye with drivers. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound canine a couple of weeks.

Weber says her furry 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 4-foot-tall Great Dane that died this summer.

Casselton is just under 3 hours from me. That's awesome.

Great Danes are serious business - I have an uncle & aunt who own their 2nd Great Dane now (their first Dane died about 1-2 years ago). Haven't met their new dog yet, but I had been around their first dog before... freaking insane! He was super-friendly, but his sheer size and constant excitement of being around people scared me. You could ride THAT dog in the article like a freaking horse!
