(Gray News) – Meet Kevin. Standing 3′2″ tall, he’s the tallest dog living (male), according to Guinness World Record.
The 3-year-old Great Dane was officially verified as the world’s tallest on March 20, 2024.
His humans, the Wolfe family, weren’t thinking about finding another Great Dane after the sad loss of a previous pet, but a friend posted about the last Great Dane of a recent litter looking for a home and they decided to adopt him.
The family named him after Kevin McCallister from the movie “Home Alone.”
By the time Kevin was a year old the family was sure he was one of the tallest dogs they had ever seen.
Despite his stature, Tracy Wolfe describes Kevin as a gentle giant.
“In fact, he is scared of most things. He is terrified of the vacuum. He won’t let it come within 6 feet of him. He will jump and run to get away from it,” Wolfe told Guinness.
According to GWR, Kevin does well with other dogs and has been known to crouch and crawl to make himself appear smaller and less intimidating.
