strephon and
juthwara? I'm afraid Carbon's been beat in the Enormous-est Dog category.
There was a guy jogging down the road. Reasonably tallish guy. Probably around 6 feet or 6'2".
The dog he had on a leash didn't come up to his hip. The dog came up past his elbow.
It was built like a greyhound, all sleek and white, except it was the size of a pony. That dog had to be eight feet long from nose to tail, and at least four feet high at the shoulder. Times I wish my cell phone had a camera.
I can't even imagine what you'd have to mix to come up with that dog. Greyhound, Great Dane, and Thoroughbred?
Man I wish I had a picture; kind of gave the same impression of "who screwed up the scale here?" that
ligers do. (Actually, looking at that picture -- dog was about that height! Not as long obviously, and much more slinky-lean, but still. Dang.)
