Danforth.

He isn't the biggest in the world, but there are few that come close to him. At this point in time, November 1st, 2012, he weighs approximately 200 pounds. He stands about 41.25 inches at the withers. There isn't a person that meets him that doesn't comment on how big he is. And yet here are pictures of the First few weeks - Danforth of his arrival, four years ago. Except for the first picture. The first one was while he was either Chief of Harrison, probably the former. Even before we got him we knew that he would be bigger than the average Great Dane, but, of course, we didn't really know how big he would get. His size simply reflects how fond we are of him. He is an incredible dog.

He has a Facebook page, and thousands of admirers. Maybe not on Facebook itself, but few aren't blown away by him, even just a little bit.
