Have you ever complained about your pooch putting too much weight on you when jumping to express his joy? Now imagine if your dog was… 6’6′ feet, weighted 250 lbs, and ate $200 worth of food every week. No, this is not a joke, but an everyday reality of Mark York who owns the biggest – and probably the friendliest- dog in Australia.

Baron the English mastiff may be a very gentle pooch indeed, though it is clear that he lacks spatial awareness. But just like any other doggie, Baron just wants to love and to be loved, and his owner makes sure the doggie gets plenty of treats.

Baron is soon to become a therapy dog for schools and hospitals, and is about to start his training. Oh, and he is yet to stop growing, as now he is only 2 and he will grow until he is 4, what makes him a contender for the world’s heaviest dog…
