Worlds Tallest Dog Meets Worlds Shortest
Welcome back!
Standing worlds apart, 2 Guinness Wrold Record holders come together as Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane who is the world’s tallest dog, measuring an incredible 42.2 inches (107 centimeters) meets Boo Boo, a long haired Chihuahua — who stands merely 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) high — is smaller than Gibson’s head.

Both bred in America, the 2 celebrity canines united to celebrate Guinness World Records Day 2007 outside the White House in Washington D.C.
Lana Elswick, Boo Boo’s owner has bred Chihuahuas in Kentucky for 19 years and said that the precious pooch was only the size of a thumb when she was born, and had to be fed with an eye dropper every 2 hours before she could eventually nurse a bottle.
“She has the attitude of a big dog; she would let me know if anyone was around and she would try to guard me if she could.” said Lana.
Gibson and his owner Sandy Hall from Sacramento, California regularly visit children’s hospitals, also making him the world’s tallest therapy dog, reports the Daily Mail.
“He just puts a smile on people’s faces.” said Sandy. “In one split second, people forget their cares and worries.”

Hi Deborah, Now that is a big dog!! All it is missing is its saddle then it could go off to the races
The chihuahua is cute though, my parents had a long haired and a short haired but the long haired one was really very small and was great with kids
OMG Deborah ….that IS a huge dog……I wonder if he eats more….
and Boo Boo is adorable…..I bet she won’t forget meeting Gibson for a while ..
I’d love to see a pic of that one Colin
I have a friend who also owns a long-haired Chihuahua. It’s extremely possessive of her, even with her husband! It’s hilarious to see such a little creature growling like he’s ‘all that.’
Hehe, he is massive Kim. He stands as high as a man on his hind legs in one of the videos. And Boo Boo just melts my heart
the little dog its so cute!!! I wish I could have one!!!!
Boo Boo steals my heart too Zoey
Wow…. Boo boo… is very cuteeee….
wow, that is a really tall dog.I had one once, but we had to give him away.
The long haired chiwawa, stold my herat now i want one.
I really want that dog
Awww, sorry to hear you had to give him away Star. I love these long-haired Chihuahuas myself
They’re very possessive and protective of their owners. A friend has one, and she growls if anyone gives her a hug or kiss, haha. She doesn’t get agressive, just growls.
that is a huge dog………. i dont think that little puppy will never ever forget that huge dog!!!!!!!!

The first picture is phenomenal! Almost can’t believe it is real. Interesting that the DNA these two canines will be almost identical tough. Nature is an amazing thing.
