Hercules: The World's Biggest Dog Ever According to Guinness World Records. Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of World's Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff who has a 38-inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's standard 200lb. limit. Hercules' owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just "grew". .. and grew. and grew. and grew.
WOW!!! I Wonder what he means by “normal”……he probably has to have a second job just to pay for the food and upkeep. What a beautiful dog though ... could u imagine? You'd need to trade in your compact car for a 1ton pickup truck just to tote this baby around.
