Gentle giant Freddy, who stood at over 7ft tall on his back legs, became a superstar when he landed the gong from Guinness World Records in 2016. She said of the 15-stone animal: 'He was not just the tallest dog but the dog with the most love and the biggest heart. Freddy was officially measured at 3 ft 4in as Guinness World Records does not measure dogs on their hind legs. Freddy brought a smile to everyone's face and will be missed by everyone at Guinness World Records. The Guinness World Records title holder for tallest dog ever was Zeus from Otsego, Michigan, USA who measured 3ft 6ins in 2011.
