An "engaging, humorous... and compelling story" of one couple's unexpected life with the "runt of the litter" puppy who grew to be the largest dog... ever (Publisher's Weekly).
With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size and, most of all, scared of being alone.

"I first heard about Giant George on a Today show segment. Even though George is a Great Dane, "great" doesn't even begin to cover his size and personality. His human, Dave Nasser, has written a light and enjoyable read about the highs and lows of owning such a large and famous dog." — Aspasia (4 out of 5 stars)
