Enormous 7 Feet Tall Great Dane Often Mistaken For Horse

#Lifestyle

Jenny Saccoccia, from Ontario, Canada says her Great Dane Thunder towers over her so much he's often mistaken for a horse - but he's a gentle giant and even afraid of smaller dogs.

According to her, this 7 feet tall is constantly mistaken for a horse by her pooch.

This is what Jenny Saccoccia says about her dog.

"They think I'm walking a horse.

"Even the vet is always talking about Thunder because they can’t believe how big he is."

Despite his size, Jenny says he's a gentle giant who is adored by children and smaller dogs alike.

"He's so well behaved, we can leave food out and he won't touch it," she says.

"He just hangs out with us, he pokes his head in the fridge but doesn't touch anything.

"My friend has a two-pound Chihuahua and she loves Thunder.

"She jumps on his ankles and he's great with kids. All of our nieces, nephews and cousins love him too."

The Great Dane is even afraid of smaller dogs, and it's the couple's Pomeranian Chichi, Malamute Tulu and Yorkshire Terrier Peanut-who rule the roost in their house.

"He wouldn't hurt a fly," Jenny added.

"If you yell at him, he'll sit in the corner and turn his back to the wall.

"We baby him because he's so good and so gentle.

"He tries to sit on my knee because he doesn't realise how big he is and he's knocked me over so many times but he does it by accident - he's just playing.

"His tail is at the same height as a man's groin so they have to be careful playing with him too."

Thunder comes from a long line of colossal canines and his dad is a champion show dog.

Jenny and Chris had always dreamt of owning a giant Great Dane, so they waited for him to have puppies.

The couple adopted Thunder just after he was born and hoped he'd grow to be as big as his dad.

Thankfully, their home sits on five and a half acres of land, giving him plenty of room to play.
