While reading one of my favorite guilty pleasure blogs, Cute Overload, I came across a post that lead me to a PeoplePets.com article about the world’s tallest dog, Titan.  Titan is a Great Dane that towers over other pups at a stagering 42.25 inches, and he weighs 190 lbs.  THAT’S CRAZY!

World's Talles Dog

Titan’s owner rescued him from a breeder right here in Tennessee in 2005.  By the way, did I mention that Titan is deaf?  Well he is.  One of the many things that is even more miraculous than him being the world’s tallest dog, a white Great Dane (white danes are almost always deaf), Titan knows sign language.  And up until two years ago Titan endured epileptic seizures.  Poor baby.  I hate to hear that about any animal.  You can read more about this Too Tall Titan on his website, Titan & Friends.

Reading about this awesome dog named Titan, who beat the odds, reminds me of another dog named Titan that I know.  The Titan I know is owned by my friend Shannon.  We occasionally would watch Titan for Shannon when she would have to go out of town.  This Titan beat the odds too.  This poor baby had Lupus which made everything he did painful.  They even gave him less than a year to live.  Well guess what….that was almost 3 years ago.  Way to go buddy!

Titan and Cohen look exactly alike from behind.  It’s hard to tell them apart if they are not facing you.  Due to Titan spending a few weeks with us, he and Cohen became best friends.  Seriously, these two are a hoot when they are together.  Cohen still gets excited to this day when he hears Titan’s name.
