| In my opinion both dogs look grotesquely overweight...and the guy could use some Jenny Craig support too. |

| I think the first guy is actually holding up the dog because it's highly doubtful a dog that overweight could even sit up on its own.  _________________ I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. -Voltaire  |

Samson: The 19st dog who's head and shoulders above the rest By ANDY DOLAN - More by this author » Last updated at 09:26am on 11th July 2007
When Samson the dog decides he fancies a lie-down on the settee, everyone else scatters.
And it's no wonder visitors think again about walking up the garden path when he jumps on the gate to greet them.
Three-year-old Samson is a cross between two of the biggest breeds, the Great Dane and Newfoundland. He is 37in at the shoulder, stands 6ft 5in on his hind legs and weighs an astonishing 19st 10lb.
If there's a bigger dog in Britain, then Samson's owners Ray and Julie Woods wouldn't want to meet it on a dark night.
But despite his huge bulk, they are happy for him to play with their eight-year-old, 4ft 3in grandson Josh, pictured right. "Samson is so gentle and wouldn't harm a fly," said Mrs Woods, 54, from Boston, Lincolnshire.
The couple spend £60 a month on dried dog food and Samson gets through two large bowls a day, with the odd turkey leg for a treat
Mr Woods, 65, said other dogs keep a safe distance when they spot Samson straining on the leash during their daily eight-mile walks.
The couple found Samson at an RSPCA centre when he was six months old. His parents belonged to the same owner and were not meant to mate but managed to produce a litter of 11, of which Samson was by far the biggest.
Guinness World Records has scrapped its entry for heaviest dog because owners were overfeeding pets.
