Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records.
Hercules is an English Mastiff and 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.

seemed relevant, enjoy
That is really cool …. one of the main molecules that I work with is IGF-I and it is interesting to see the dramatic effects that this molecule can have … the conventional wisdom is that growth hormone is mediated by IGF-I as a second effector but it would seem that the magnitude of expression of the hormone is less important than the sensitivity of the regulatory sequence in this case … i.e. how much IGF-I is produced in response to a GH stimulus… GO THORPEDO DOGS! … hehe
Muy interesting, Tubs. I wonder if there’s a career for me in bio chem? My brain too small, though 🙁
Anyway, that’s one big-assed dog. I wonder how big his bum presents are?
