Literarily every big dog is named Zeus, Bruce, or Thor 🙄
the tallest dog EVER was also called Zeus! Funny how life works like that
Yh...so?
And
@@guinnessworldrecords didn't ask + ratio + L Edit: I've brought shame upon my family name 😢
hold this ratio lol omg
That's not a Zeus, that's a Clifford.
Enslavement
Lmfaoo
More like Gargaroth. Or Precious.
With big red rocket
clifford was red not grey
Imagine someone breaks into their house and sees this absolute beast of a great dane
And Zeus goes to sleep...
💀💀
Such a beautiful boy. I personally don’t think I could own a dog with such a short life span. To get attached and then have something so special taken away. It would break me
Just lost my Great Dane who was 6 last week to bloat and I don’t think I’ve ever felt that much pain. I want another one so badly but I don’t think I can go through that again
I sort of feel the same way.... but I also believe that every animal deserves a loving home, & a chance. We have two cats. They came to us when they were almost seniors. We've decided that from now on, we will only adopt older cats, & give them a chance to enjoy their last few years in a loving environment.
A counterpoint: I experienced a lot of death as a kid, pet and human. Life is short. Very short. And it’ll always end with death. It’s the love and time you get with another being that matters most. The loss hurts bad, but I try to remind myself often that the love is worth the cost of the pain.
Yeah that's why I personally would rather own an African elephant, a primate, or a lion, instead of a dog or cat and why I believe in eugenics for humans to make sure no one breeds with inferior genes.
@@hummingbird11 that’s absolutely amazing. I adopted two cats, my male cat Finley, he is now 8. They told us nobody ever wanted him, he was born there and grew up there. Most people want kittens. He’s absolutely amazing and loves his home. He is in fact the king haha
I met Zeus at the Irish Festival in Dallas. He's so much larger in person!
shouldn't it be a danish festival🙃 ill see myself out
@@thekingofgaming7497 Great Danish festival?
@DragonMasterYT the kid was my hockey teammate this year
in dog u mean

0:12 Zeus literally doesn't have time for interviews
lol
Omg literally
Lol
He’s like I’m too beautiful to be interviewed 😂😂😂
He got his priorities straight
In my childhood I lived with a great dane. He was the best buddy for me. He even saved me from drowning although he was afraid of water. I managed to get to the water as a young child and he ran around me and barked to inform my parents. When the cats occupied his place on the couch, he was too shy to shoo them away. He was such a great companion and we were heartbroken when he passed away at the age of 9.
That was touching, thankyou for sharing. 👌
The scary thing is, this guy is only 25% taller than a large Grey Wolf. The Dire Wolf, a now extinct species, was about this size on average. Imagine a wolf this size coming at you.
Take out that Glockiana
Imagine a thief entering the house and seeing Zeus. He'd die on the spot by a heart attack. Meanwhile Zeus: I thought you came here to play. Come on let's play
That’s pretty accurate actually
😂😂😂
He’s a beast haha
Don't underestimate the thief, she or he can r3ppe Zeus...
I’d rather face a dog like Zeus than a crazed, angry pit bull. Tall dogs like this are like extra tall (as in almost too tall for NBA) people. Kind of clumsy. I’m 6 1’ and 235 lbs. From the side I could push Zeus over and pin him way easier than I could get my hands on angry pit bull.
"He brings a lot joy to our family." Bingo. That's all that matters. Big Dogs Rule.
Correction: ALL dogs rule
@sungaM enoryT correction 3- all ANIMALS rule
@sungaM enoryT 😂 you are right man, cats rule, i know that because i had a cat
I think that was meant to be sarcastic… What should matter is the dogs health and happiness
@sungaM enoryT ummm I've both cat and dog.... And i think they both rules 😂😂😂😂😂
I love how Great Danes are literally the definition of gentle giant. They are so huge but they really are just laidback and loving (if not a bit lazy lol)
My Great Dane Ozzi was about a half and inch shorter that Zeus, Ozzi measure ground to shoulder at 41 inches. He lived to be ten years old and the heartbreak of his passing was horrible, haven’t had another dog since. Maybe someday in the future my families hearts will heal
I lost my German shepherd at 14 yrs old on 13 jan 2022. we also are finding it difficult to even think of having another dog
@@anoushkaj6884 they leave such a big hole in our hearts and home. So worth it but man it’s hard sometimes
I have a 4yr old German Sheppard and recently got a Merle Dane that could be Zeuses sister I swear they are 2 peas in a pod. Well long story short the reason I got her 6 months ago is because my Sheppard is 4yrs old and I wanted to get her a buddy to keep her young! :)
The heart will never heal, my friend. You just learn to live with the pain. And the heart is infinite like the universe, so you better go and get another beautiful doggie to welcome into your family, because the overwhelming heartbreak of losing your dogbaby is worth the years of love. ❤️
Get a bird instead. Some species of Parrot live as long as humans.
great dane's are the definition of a gentle giant. they have no clue how big they are and act like lovable puppies their entire life. they are beyond loving and sweet in nature......
I had a very intense fear of dogs growing up, I imagine I wouldn't need to worry with a great Dane around
Complete opposite of my 19 pound Scottie. He doesn’t know he’s small. He barks at the Great Dane neighbor when they walk down our street. Like, come at me, bro.
Unless you have my great dane. She was the most p.o.s dog ever. I love dogs but man she was a handful!
I think they do
If I ever had a dog that massive, I 100% would name him/her something opposite of their stature…tiny, buddy, tinker bell, etc.

how are you everywhere?
How lucky his humans are to have Zeus as part of their family. What amuses me is that his water bowl is the sink (!). He seems to be a very mild and gentle pup. Long and happy life to you, Zeus!
Great Danes have an avg of like 9 year lifespan :(
He’s lucky to have them
He's not a pup you clown.
Great Danes are so gentle. I met one named Murray once at a dog park and he sat on my lap like we had known each other forever 😂🐾🥰
Rip Zeus 😢
I love how great danes looks so big and scary, but really they are scared of everything and really friendly and playful!
They all just remind me of Scooby Doo
not true, danes can be extremely protective .
My Dane is a 200 pounder and the back yard and passenger seat of my truck are his. If you want to see an aggressive Dane then intrude on his territory as a stranger. It's actually scary
Yeah my Dane is 1 yr 215 lbs of love but if I say "who is that" he goes from loving to trained mode an same with the car is his territory
Great Danes really don’t look scary lol
Imagine seeing how much the dog grew from being a small arm size dog to a literal small horse size dog.
I'm really looking forward to this interview.
R.I.P., Great Zeus 😢💔🐕🦺
He seems very nice and patient with humans, he's so lovely 🤩
Enjoyed watching your enriching content
I studied about him in my general knowledge book this year and here I am! He's cute :) may he stay healthy and enjoy!
What a BIG boy!! I had one back in '87 when I walked him he would prance like a horse. He was beautiful💙
Hello how are you doing?
“His water bowl is the sink”. That show how tall he is!
It’s sad they have a short live span…..I have a friend who rescues Dane’s and it breaks her heart every time they pass.
Rest in heaven Zeus😢😢
Aww i love this! My family used to have a great dane and they are wonderful dogs! I miss you Shilo ❤️
What a beautiful dog. Such a gentle Giant 💗 that obviously brings such joy !!! YOU GO ZEUS!!
I'm pretty sure a friend of mine who's family has several great danes had one bigger or same size. This was 20+ years ago but I remember meeting that dog. He was in a lazy boy and it looked tiny. His front feet were flat on the ground and when he got up from it he got so much taller. When he stood on his back legs he'd tower over my friends dad who was taller than my dad (6'2 or 6'4). That dog was massive but such a sweet heart that loved everyone. Oh and he was like a dalmatianish kinda color pattern.
If this one is in the Guinness book of records. The chances that you met one the "same" or "larger" is almost impossible. Think about it...
@@TheJimprez not really, it's very expensive to be featured in the guinness book
@@TheJimprez I live in a rural area in the mountains of albania there are some insane dogs here in the wild that are definitely bigger but how would guinness even know. I've seen dogs that I thought were bears my dad said he seen a 200 pound dog thats jacked
Such a beautiful big boy. Sadly the thing that makes him so beloved, is the thing that will give him a shorter life than expected. I love dane's, but the short life span is too hard emotionally to deal with.
Same. I wonder about ppl who have dogs that live such a short time. I`m not sure I could handle it
He’s so beautiful. I hope you are giving him the very best foods, vitamins, anything for such a big guy’s health! 🙏🏼♥️☮️
The only complaint that I have is that Zeus's legs are more toned and sexier than mine!😱😂. Beautiful Zeus and beautiful family🥰. May he bring you all many years of love and joy. Also, mom's voice is perfect for narrating. She should do other voiceover work.

He’s so cool. If I could I’d love an opportunity to meet him someday
The thumbnail made it seem like they were about to interview the dog on his amazing achievement.
Such a beautiful creature. I wanna pet him so badly.
Yeah, beautiful 😉
He is beautiful and Majestic
🐱 more better
@@shayna.6928 exactly
It will pet you instead
OMG, your family would not be whole without that baby. I wish I had the opportunity to meet Zeus and introduce him to my two Danes!
@zeus-king-dane we’ll post when he does meetups
Nice way of insulting the older boy
@@Patrick3183 seriously?? How the hell could you find an insult in that comment? My oldest Dane is 11. I was simply stating how clear it is Zeus means the world to her.
@@baldwinvp Weird way you chose to word it.
He looks so animated and cartoonish due to his size 😲 hope zues lives a long, happy and healthy life
When a dog is taller than you: *Sad short noises*
He's so graceful! I miss my Great Dane. Abby had the same spots and colors as Mr. Zeus.
That boi is BIG
"When he gets excited it's about 10 minutes"🌝
What a gentle giant
He should meet cash 2.0
He looks so big and mighty but also he looks so cute and friendly would love to see or have a big dog with me even if it might destroy my whole house but still 😂👍🏻
The great thing about Great Danes is that they’re huge couch potatoes. Their zoomies are short. Just make sure you have a big enough couch and you’re all set.
@@LittleMissV Of course, they need training and supervision as pups( first 2 years). I still have my Dane's tooth marks on the family room coffee table. I had an earlier one who tried to teethe on the top of a rocking chair.
@@YSLRD that goes for any dog, though
I don't think he looks mighty. Tall, thin, and probably clumsy. Lol. Cute though.
Looks like VFX edited btw amazing 👍🏻
When I was a delivery driver, I came up to a house where, upon the door opening, I was greeted by a Great Dane that just about looked me in the eye. Biggest dog I have EVER seen. The guy who ordered the pizza looked like the type that wouldn't hesitate to enforce a Do Not Tresspass sign and here was this massive, unleashed animal, so I was just a little nervous. And then that great big beast looked up at me and flopped its whole enormous self into my torso so I could give him scratchies and pets. I almost fell over on the porch. Absolute sweetheart of a unit and a fond memory.
What a friendly giant!
I LOVE that thumbnail pic. You can see Zeus is apart of the family. Hes not just a dog. Thats how it should be. They shouldn't be expendable because you want a new apartment and don't want to find one that will take pets, leave in a hot car, leave out in the cold, never take them on walks... you treat them as you would want to be treated. Beautiful family. You can tell Zeus is happy as can be.
When he turns 18 the family is the one which moves out
He’s so big they should breed him for sure
I've never saw this kind of horse before, he's adorable
I lost my Tarzan - he is GreatDane - died out of throat cancer at the age of 12 ! ❤️ i love him so much !
Sorry you lost your dog but you were really lucky to have him for that long. I think the average lifespan of a great Dane is only about 6-10 years.
Imagine bringing that dog in public and is well trained like CASH 2.0 lol.
Ive raised Sib Huskies my whole life. I babysat my friends monster sized female Dane. I could not believe how gentle and sweet no trouble that big girl was! The whole week! She was an 18month pup too
What a beautiful little boy. I miss mine everyday.
Same.
Mine is almost 14. Honestly i don't wanna go through what you're going through
I'm so sorry u lost ur doggie it must be very sad hope u get another one soon ❤👍🏻
Fr it hurts so bad when you lose your pet 😪
Great danes are so adorable! But it would probably break my heart to own one then lose them too quickly. I believe they have shorter lifespans than most other breeds :(
the bigger the dog,the shorter the life usually
@@kek651 what about Clifford?
@@deathkitten7635 Clifford is immortal and no one is telling me otherwise lol 😆
Yes, they do have shorter life spans. The breed, like most purebreds, is bred a particular way to achieve “standards.” Which includes a as frame like his that the heart cannot sustain for very long. She mentioned he runs around for a little bit and gets tired. It’s because his heart literally cannot support his body. It’s actually quite sad. But as long as people continue to pay for breeds like this, it will never stop.
Yes the bigger the dog the shorter the life span he wont live that long
"his water bowl is the sink" Alright, now teach him to do the dishes then I'll be impressed.
I saw that you like in Keller, TX? (From your husband's t-shirt.) We live in Weatherford, and we adopted Gantu in Dallas last August (was on the DFW Danes site). Gantu is 3 inches taller than my late Osborne (assed from cancer in Jun 2022), but Zeus seems bigger than Gantu. Wow! Hope to meet Zeus one day. PS---Both of my Danes are Merles, as well.
I have a Great Dane too. He’s not nearly as big as Zeus though lol, but he’s still large… I mean, he is a giant breed lol. I get a lot of “saddle” and “horse” jokes too. GDs are stubborn and very laidback dogs. They are protective when they need to be though. I’ve never had to worry about the black bears in our neighborhood, because he’s about the same size as them and always scares them off. I never imagined that my first dog would be a Great Dane, but my husband is a giant too (6’4) and he didn’t want a small dog since he was worried he’d trip over them… so we got another giant to add to the family. Love the breed ❤️
My dad is 6'4" and our baby Dane has knocked him over... so I feel your "worried he'd trip over them..." comment but it didn't end up that way for us!! To be fair, grandpa likes to spoil the baby... which hasn't worked out great for him since she now knows he'll let her get away with nearly anything. We're trying to train him though (dad, not the Dane... she's well trained already!). :D
Sadly Great Dane’s have short lifespans…Their hearts are just too small to support such a huge frame.
The so called heartbreak breeds like boxers :(
yea :(
You can clear see this great dane is more tired/lazy than others
i thought danes had big hearts?
Loved ur work in Modern Family... U've grown so much now
He Sure Is Extra Special. Great personality too.
Great Danes are by far one of my favorite dogs! Zeus is beautiful.
I also have a Great dane named Maximus and people always ask me If it's a horse.
Same! Mine has the same name! He’s a tuxedo though. What yours like?
Fun fact: His heart is not significantly bigger than a usual dog's heart. The differences between breed's organs are nowhere rational to the differences in the size of the skeleton. For example, Chihuahua's brain and eyes are too big, Great Dane's heart is too small. Even thought the body tries to compensate this in various ways, his heart will always be too weak. It will be damaged pretty soon due to the pressure. This is why he has no stamina at all and won't live longer than 10 years (Which would be the ideal maximum). Dogs of moderate size live 12-16 years, smaller dogs will live longer. This is an edit to state my point in a better way. 🐾
Not true. That's ridiculous.
@@none_o_ur_bidnis They're wrong about the size but this breed has a lot of heart issues and they're called the "heart break breed" because of it. They're also right about the short lifespan. Most Great Danes don't live past 8 -10 years old.
@@dangerbirb4981 the claim about the size is what I was referring to.
Most dogs live 10 years Minus mine that ended up living only 3 years. Cancer took him.
My Dane was 11, but I was very blessed.
That's a full grown man he should pay his rent and get his drivers licence
He is truly a wonderful animal. And he has a great family.
Absolutely beautiful dog! I love this breed!
I wrote an essay about Zeus when I was 7 awesome too see him again
i’d love to see him on a walk with cash 2.0 😭 imagine two big dogs out on a walk 😭
"He loves to walk around the neighbourhood" Sheldon Cooper, Ph.D who just happens to live nearby: "I'm going to write a *strongly* worded letter to the dog owner, strongly worded indeed."
Great danes are defenition of a gentle giant
I’m not gonna lie if I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw Zeus walking around in the dark. I’d have a panic attack.
I feel bad for everyone with Great Danes, because I read they only live to 5-7 years old. I thought 10-14 was short. Poor families of dogs.. it is the humans who suffer missing their fury pups.
I remember when i was 10 years old, i could get curious to see how the tallest dog would look
I just love this video and story and this dog and this family.
There family is awesome. I was lucky to have her husband as my hockey coach this year and they are amazing people
Cerberus in resi 9 be like
I lost it when he straight up drank from the sink 😂😂😂 what an awesome dog
The most adorable being i have seen
Our Dane is Tucker... Hes our big boy at 3 ft 2 inches but more european and thick. They are the best most loving dogs!
Mine was Moogly. I thought he was a huge husky mix, but he turned out to be a mixed White Swiss Shepherd, and something bigger that had WAY longer teeth than it ought to. Really sweet dog though. He pulled a toboggan filled with firewood no problem.
Wow i never seen a tallest dog in the world,Zeus is so cute❤❤
Amazing dog
Zeus what a creative name for such a large dog.
A big dog with a big heart Wow . Your son found his best friend and He will stay in his memory for ever Cause all dogs have Their own personality
Look! It's The Big Dog Roman Reigns! Acknowledge Him! 😂
The dog already has heart disease
Nice name for the dog lol
indeed
what da dog doin 🤨
I love how the thumbnail makes it look like the dog is interviewing her for a chat show. 😆
Aww I love that big dogs like this think they are small and chihuahua's are so full of attitude.
Now that's a beautiful horse.
A barking horse.
Lol
Respect to the woman for not listening to the others and treated her dog with love and dignity as one of her family member, by not riding him like a horse. She is right, Zeus is a dog, not a horse, just because he’s big, he’s still a dog.
"I can't believe you dragged me into this" ~~~ Zeus
-How high should we hide the cookie jar? -Yes.
Look how big this dog is
