Tallest Dog Gibson Dies from Cancer

A few months ago we wrote that Gibson, the tallest dog in the world, had sadly lost a leg to osteosarcoma, a form of canine bone cancer. Although terrible news, we were pleased to hear that, nevertheless, our big canine friend was doing well and seemed to be on the road to recovery. Unfortunately, we have recently learned that Gibson has lost his fight with cancer and has passed away.

"We will miss Gibson very much as he was a wonderful record-holder and a memorable member of the Guinness World Records family" said Stuart Claxton of Guinness World Records. "We extend our condolences to his owner Sandy Hall with whom we shared many happy moments as we celebrated Gibson and his record all over the world".

Gibson, a 7-year-old Harlequin Great Dane and Guinness World Record holder for the world’s Tallest Dog (42.2 in tall) passed away from cancer on Friday, Aug. 7 2009 near Sacramento, California, USA.
