Freddy, the beloved Great Dane who held the record as the world’s tallest dog, has died at the age of 8, Guinness World Records announced.
The Great Dane, from Essex, U.K., was awarded his title in 2016 for his massive height of 3 feet 4 inches from foot to withers. When he stood on his hind legs, Freddy was 7 feet 5-and-a-half inches tall, the announcement said.
The gentle giant who towered at almost 7 feet, 6 inches standing on his hind legs became an international sensation when his record was announced in 2016.
“He was not just the tallest dog but the dog with the most love and the biggest heart. A total soppy bugger who was hand-fed,” Freddy’s devastated owner Claire Stoneman said.
“He was my life. My reason. My joy. My annoyance. My happiness and my ultimate sadness. He was my heart Dane. My one in a million and loved by the entire world,” the resident of Essex, UK, added.
