Straight off the Urban Legends site

"Comments: I urge anyone who thinks this photograph is real -- or even might be real -- to visit a psychiatrist. Right away. Thanks to Photoshop, the dog pictured here (which appears to be a Neapolitan mastiff, not an English mastiff as claimed) is roughly twice its natural size.

Back in 2001, Joe Flynn, the owner of a 282-pound English mastiff named Hercules (see photo), was indeed told by a representative of Guinness World Records that he had the world's largest dog. This is not the same animal. "

The funny thing is that I posted this a couple of days ago. The picture is a picture of one of the members here "gostraight", his dog "Bentley", and Gostraight (Radu)'s girlfriend and her horse. He admits to modifying the pics as a joke for Valentines day.

Here's the thread that I started.

I wonder how many of these threads we'll end up with.

BTW, here's the real stats on the dog in the pic above.

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