PointyDormouse60089, I'm so sorry to hear.. I lost my companion of 13 years, my best girl Sandy, just over 2 months ago. She got real sick real fast :( and her loss has left a huge void in my heart. I know how you feel, but I bet you Chi Chi had a great life.

PointyDormouse60089, I'm so sorry for your pain. I lost my support dog in November, she was everything to me. The joy they bring to our lives is boundless. it doesn't get better but it gets easier. Much love x

PointyDormouse60089, very sorry for your loss. A lot of people don't understand how important animals can be to us.

Player #158499, I'm soooooo very sorry, I know how much that hurts. I lost my Afghan Hound, Portia at 18 a year ago. She was like a child to me and my grief over her loss is still so very strong.... cherish the happy memories you shared.
It helps me to save the collars of my special pets and put them in a shadow box below a treasured photo of a particularly happy time we shared together. Hugs

dunelizard2012, I miss my Maltese poodle.

I miss all the dogs I’ve loved and lost so much,
But it’s worth the heartache -
Especially if the dog is from a rehoming centre, as they are already in of need an owner .
I love dogs 🐶
Id have ahuge pack if I could 🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺🐾
DonGiano
the dog was barely 7 years old. Hardly old enough to show signs of old age. Great Danes have heart problems. I highly doubt this dog died of old age.

SneakyMole92698, It's odd that big dogs tend to have shorter lives than small dogs. With most animals it's the other way round. A friend had a Yorkshire Terrier live to be 22. The people across the road from me look after retired greyhounds. They live for less than 10 years. Great Danes have the shortest life expectancy of all.

MrNobody, the larger the dog, the shorter its life span (as a general rule)

irish wolf hound is not on the list of choices.
Guillermo
PointyDormouse60089, I have found the best remedy to that sadness is to go out right away and adopt another.. so many pets need to be rescued.. and the spirit of your lost friend will be proud of you for helping other animal souls..

What was the world's tallest dog prior to 2019
Roopi
My favourite dog
Meghana
we had a dog who was a mix of great Dane and husky and at 6 months old he was over 6ft when he'd stand up on his hind legs. awesome dog....miss him.

I had my Lucy for 18 years. I lost her this May. My best friend and companion. Unconditional love.

Player Gemkat, I thought the IW was the tallest too. I had one for six years - she was such a wonderful dog.
Player Gemkat
Grumpy Fossil, kind of a trick question. I also have learned for years the Irish Wolfhound is the tallest breed.

Learn something new every day. Always thought they were Danish, Great Dane.
Player #7829281
PointyDormouse60089, so sorry your Chi Chi is no longer with you. Try focusing on all those great years you have had with her. Perhaps it's time for a trip to the animal shelter to save a life and make yours less lonely.
Player #10639782
I lost my shepherd hound cross sheba recently. miss her alot. she was 15. she died on the way to the vet. but I got a new furry friend now.
Player #2512936
My sympathy to all. Honor Your Pets by adopting from a shelter.
MrNobody
Did research. Great Danes have lifespan of 8-10 yrs. Accelerated aging? hmmm
MrNobody
Wait a minute, the dog had lived for circa 6 yrs. That is not
old in doggy yrs. What's going on here? I'm confused.
MrNobody
Oh, he's talking about his friend; almost sounds like he, himself, had died of a broken heart.
MrNobody
Did Kevin also write his own obituary & attend his own funeral?

I know great Danes are big but I always thought mastiffs were the tallest, having seen some you could actually ride on like a small horse or pony.
Sonicgirl
Scooby doo and Marmaduke were both great Danes .
DanRiskerMfc13
died in 2014? How can he hold record in 2018? Was kevin, Zeus or George's owner? bit confused with the information here!

Canis Lupus, I had one back in the 1970's, he weighed over 11 stone.
Irish Wolfhounds are another "giant" breed but sadly, they and all the really huge dog breeds are known as "heartbreak" dogs, because they don't live to a great age (usually) :(
