Gostraight/Radu and Bentley

[masraum]

You guys will probably be on Snopes soon.

I got this email yesterday at work.

Subject: FW: Now, that's a dog!!!



here puppy,puppy...










Now this is a dog!!!!

Hercules was recently awarded the honourable distinction of Worlds
Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. Hercules is an English Mastiff
And has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds.
With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the
Three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's
Standard 200lb. Limit. Hercules owner Mr. Flynn says that Hercules
Weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet:
"I fed him normal food and he just grew".... And grew. And grew. And grew.
Check out old mate's picture !!!

Photoshop...

Yep, gostraight has posted that image before as well as an image of the girl in the shot riding Bentley which is another photoshop, but in the other pics that he's posted, the dog is big.

Here's something he's posted in another thread.

"Not an English Mastiff, but a Neapolitan mastiff @ 175lb can clear a 5ft fence...He also wears a 29' collar"

175# is a big doggy

I think his point is that it's "out there" on the net with a life of it's own now. Someone snagged the pics and created a legend that has already made it back to one of our members. Small world.

Can someone post a link to the original thread?

[masraum]

Gostraight has posted pics of Bentley in several threads including the thread of random pics, but here's one with several pics.

Funny, Bentley does not look that big in person!
