That first photo looks strange. Almost stretched.

They did that stupid “Walleye” lens view like they did with Bill Clinton and Ann Coulter. The man looks all out of proprtion, too. Stupid, the dog is big enough not to need any camera tricks.

I dunno ... the whole thing looks photoshopped to me. But what do I know?

I guess you gotta follow him with a #2 scoop shovel.

The photographer is using the distortion from a wide angle lens to make the dog appear larger than he is. He’s a big dog, but distortion makes him look bigger compared to objects in the background.

Paul, what do you think ... is that dane shopped?

Maybe it's just a wide angle lens, b/c the sofa-shot looks as if it might be.

The world needs a bigger dog. Much bigger.

The photographer is very, very close with a wide angle lens. It isn’t shopped, just distorted.

In proportion to the man’s face ...gotta be a lenses distortion...especially when you compare it to photo #3.

David and Christine raised George from when he was 7 weeks old, but never expected him to grow so big.

Like a real-life Clifford the Big Red Dog.
