The dog I referred to is the one pictured with the victim. The article said that dog and the other were about 120 lb. each. I have a 120 lb. Great Dane who looks quite large because, although quite thin, he stands about as tall as a whitetail deer. Then, horror of horrors, my other dog, who weighs 90 lb., is half American Staffordshire Terrier, a quarter Labrador, and eighth Golden, and and eighth Cocker Spaniel. When I adopted him from a human society over twelve years ago as a puppy, he was represented as being half Great Dane and half black Lab. He’s been a great dog all his life, except for thinking he owns half of what was my bed.
Neither of my dogs has ever been spoiled.
Dog doesn’t look “huge” to me; I think 120lb is a bad estimate. I’m guessing they guessed and did not put them on a scale! The dog is too short and not fat enough to weigh that much.
“I adopted him from a human society over twelve years ago as a puppy, he was represented as being half Great Dane and half black Lab.”
Yet somehow you ascertained his exact ancestry although obtained at a shelter? I’m curious how that happened. How did you get exact measurements of AmStaff/Lab/Golden/Cocker?
Actually all this proves is that it can be hard (not always) to figure a dog’s background.
