When we got him, we'd been watching Home Alone
0:03
Look what you did, Kevin! Like, we
just kept saying that, and so it stuck
0:08
Hello, my name's Tracy Wolfe, and this is
Kevin. He's the tallest dog in the world
0:18
Kevin's favorite activity is probably taking naps,
holding this couch down is his favorite pastime, I think
0:25
Kevin is funny, and he is super, super
duper friendly. In fact, overly friendly
0:33
You don't want to keep your mouth open too
much when he's around, because his tongue
0:38
But everybody loves seeing him, as long
as they don't get whipped by his tail
0:43
Kevin can be stubborn, though. He can
be naughty. It's usually food-related
0:48
Otherwise, he's usually a pretty good kid. Come
on, boy. Most of the time, we hear things like
0:56
is that a horse or a dog? They ask if there's
a saddle or anything that they can put on him
1:01
and ride him, the usual. Kevin is a Great
Dane, and they were bred to hunt boars
1:08
He will try to chase things. He chases the other
dogs, so he definitely does have that drive in him
1:15
You just wouldn't always know it, looking
at him sometimes while he's sleeping
1:19
Even though he's in the working breed
class, sometimes I wonder about that
1:25
So let's see if we can get
him up. Kevin, come on. Kevin
1:30
Kevin, come on. Kevin, you
want to go for a walk? Kevin
1:36
Kevin, you want to go? I don't know that he
always knows he's the biggest one in the room
1:41
but he's always been very gentle with other
little dogs. He does fine with the cats
1:47
He does once in a while try to chase them, but if he
catches them, it's just licks them and they move along
1:54
Whatever he does, he doesn't put on a
lot of weight. He still stays really thin
2:00
but he does eat anywhere from
6 to 10 cups a day of food
2:07
He loves the kids. He loves all the
kids. They're exactly his height
2:11
and so he really gets to get their face as his favorite thing.
Alexander is the one that trains him and takes him to classes. Stay
2:19
Kevin, find it. Good job. Good job.
Both the kids absolutely love him
2:28
Yeah, our family is definitely better because he's in
it. To officially have Kevin as the world's tallest dog
2:35
is really exciting for our family.
It's funny because as a puppy
2:39
we just kept thinking, like, he just keeps growing.
He just keeps growing, and we would say, like
2:45
he's the tallest dog I've ever seen.
He's the tallest dog I've ever seen
2:49
And to actually have that distinction
is really exciting for the family
2:53
I do not think Kevin is aware of his fame. In fact,
I don't think he's aware he is as big as he is
3:01
He's continually trying to squeeze into small beds and
sit on top of us, do everything that the smaller dogs do
3:09
He loves being acknowledged wherever he goes. So I
think if he does start to get more acknowledgement
3:17
he will start to realize what's going
on. Kevin, let's go. Kevin, let's go
3:27
Kevin, come on. Kevin. You going
to go? Should we go for a walk
3:35
Come on. Kevin, come on. Come on
