Alex Dennison and Ashley Lewis should have listened to people. The Australian couple adopted their German Shepherd, Nasra, when she was eight weeks old. The pair were frequently stopped on the street by strangers who complimented the beautiful canine while telling them that, based on the size of her paws and head, she was going to be a big girl.
Dennison and Lewis usually laughed off the warnings. They did, however, create a growth chart by photographing Nasra every month. In the series, the first image starts with Lewis comfortably cradling Nasra to the latest image where the dog is almost as long as her.
And Nasra hasnt stopped growing. Her diet consists of a 44 pound bag of kibbles every month, oats, meat, and of course, treats.

Many years ago, my brother almost bought a true Shiba Inu but when dog owners warned that Shiba Inu dogs tend to be not exactly friendly with strangers, he ended up with a Welsh Corgi instead.

I had a Golden Retriever who, at age 15 1/2, and despite years of spinal injury, could still dance around like a nut if you said “puppy, puppy, puppy” to her in a high voice.

Cute little dog. Now if you want really big try my Dane on for size. I got her at ten weeks. She is not quite 2 years now. She hit standard Dane size (32”) and just kept going. She is pushing 39 inches now. She is so long I have to buy a pony blanket for her. I have purposely kept her trim at 160 pounds. When I take her out everyone wants a picture. Thank the Lord she is sweet like most Danes.

My Shepherd pups as of three days ago.
He too will be huge.
He was a gift from my wife after the untimely loss of my best friend Max in February.
