A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"What seems like a gimmicky idea for a book-life with the world's tallest dog (with a Guinness Book of World Records certificate to prove it)-turns out to be an engaging, humorous read...But rather than the rambles of an obsessed owner, the book is a well-plotted and compelling story, which takes us into the Nasser family dynamic: when Dave and Christie start trying for a baby, they encounter heartbreak. Startlingly honest and well-written, Giant George's story stands apart from the slew of other dog books on the shelves." --Publisher's Weekly
"He may not be Rin Tin Tin, but George has one enormous claim to fame: at nearly five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds, this Great Dane holds the Guinness World Record not simply for Tallest Living Dog but Tallest Dog Ever. With Oprah appearances, 75,000 Facebook fans, and over 2.6 million hits on his YouTube videos, George is big on followers, too. And he's a sweetheart. Buy for all those dog fans-we're legion." --Library Journal
"A hilarious story, and well told. Much of the humor comes from the spectacle of a couple of innocents having their eyes opened. After you've read about [George's] exploits, the Nassers won't be the only people smitten with him. You will be, too -- although if you're lucky, no one will ever ask you to provide space for him in your home." --Mike Neill, The Reading Room

Quatrième de couverture :

He's scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size, and scared of being alone. He's Giant George, doggie superstar, and officially the tallest dog in the world . . . ever.
In 2006, Dave and Christie Nasser bought a Great Dane puppy. The runt of his litter, he'd won their affection with his soulful expression. They named him George and he soon began to dominate their world, growing from quivering misfit into gentle giant.
In 2010, George became a doggie superstar, crowned by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Tallest Dog in the World, ever. He's appeared on Oprah and has his own global fan club. At five feet tall and seven feet long he is still every inch a big softie, eager to play and boisterous to the point of causing chaos. But to Dave and Christie, he is still a much-cherished pet, who has made them laugh, made them cry, and continues to make them happy. Giant George is their heart-warming story.
