Freddy the Great Dane, who held the record for tallest dog living (male), has sadly passed away. He was 8 and a half years old.
The gentle giant was a much adored and pampered pet who became an international superstar when his record was announced in 2016.
When measured by a vet and Guinness World Records’ Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday, Freddy was a towering 103.5 cm (3 ft 4 in) from foot to withers.
Standing on his hind legs - not a measurement that GWR officially counts - his height was an imposing 226 cm (7 ft 5.5 in).
Freddy's owner Claire Stoneman from Essex, UK, was devastated at her beloved pet's passing: "He was not just the tallest dog but the dog with the most love and the biggest heart".
