    About this audiobook

    With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size, and, most of all, scared of being alone.

    Giant George is the charming story of how this precocious puppy won Dave and Christie's hearts and along the way became a doggie superstar. In 2010, George was named by Guinness World Records as the Tallest Dog in the World – ever. He appeared on Oprah, and even has his own global fan club. But to Dave and Christie, this extraordinary animal is still their beloved pet, the one who has made them laugh, made them cry, and continues to make them incredibly happy.

      Cute dog book.
    • 3/5
      Very cute, enjoyable.
    • 5/5
      A delightful read.....Nasser was extremely straightforward in presenting everything about owning a very large dog---the largest!--when you start from puppy stage and go forth together as a family. He gives you everything--the good, the bad and the "oh dear!" George is a very treasured member of the Nasser family but it sounds as though he has earned his place, large though it is.
    • 3/5
      George may be an interesting dog, but his story is not so much. Everyday life challenges make for a sometimes amusing read (particularly tales of living with a giant puppy in a no-dogs-allowed apartment), but overall, the style is dry and matter of fact. Anecdotes that might be amusing come across as humdrum. However, the pictures provide a nice touch, allowing the readers to see "Giant George's" incredible size for themselves.
    • 4/5
      3.5 starsGeorge was the runt of his litter, a Great Dane who came home with Dave and Christie when he was only 7 weeks old. By the time he was fully grown, though, he was almost 250 lbs! (Almost 100 lbs larger than the average adult Great Dane!) He was also very friendly and loved people. George eventually made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s tallest dog. This was a good story. He’s a sweet dog. There are photos included, as well.
    • 5/5
      Giant George is an unprecedented seven feet long, almost five feet tall (at 43”), and almost 250 pounds. The Guiness Book of World Records has acknowledged him as the world’s tallest dog. It wasn’t always this way for George. He started as the smallest in his litter, even called “the runt”, when he was born in 2005.Relocating back to his native Arizona, Dave Nasser promised his new bride Christie a puppy. It was initially a bribe of sorts. After the huge costs of the big Great Dane puppy and his super-sized supplies, Dave almost reconsidered. However, after “paws for thought”, they realized not only was George rapidly growing, so was their love for him.Giant George has appeared on TV shows, YouTube videos, and is on Facebook. This is truly a wonderful story full of love and devotion between a dog and his people. This is how it is supposed to be.
