“He was not only the tallest dog, but the dog with the most love and the biggest heart. He was my life. My reason. My joy. My irritation. My happiness and my last sadness. He was my heart,” lamented the owner , Claire Stoneman, quoted by the British press.
When he was born, Freddy was the youngest of the litter.
“When I was a baby, I was the smallest of the litter. I didn’t think it would be that big, “he recalled.
The family spent around £ 500 a month, more than 565 euros, on the animal’s food, which included feed, minced meat, roast chicken and some treats.
Also a source for the Guinness World Records organization, he already regretted the departure of Freddy, who measured around 1.04 meters from the foot to the withers.
“We still can’t believe he was the smallest of the litter. Freddy made everyone smile and we will all miss each other at Guinness World Records ”, they highlighted.
The tallest dog ever recorded by Guinness World Records on all fours was Zeus from Michigan, USA, who was 1.11 meters tall in 2011. The animal, who was also a Great Dane, died two months before his sixth birthday. .
