Wow, talk about a medal run!  Giant George, owned by David Nasser, stands 43in tall paw to shoulder, and weighs 245lb. He was just named by Guinness World Records as both the world’s Tallest Living Dog and Tallest Dog Ever.

Like Susan Boyle, four-year-old Giant George has become an overnight celebrity in his hometown of Tucson, AZ.  First, he won the dog-equivalent of the Oscars and then he got invited to be on Oprah’s show.  Can he handle it ??  Apparently he can. 

On the plane trip to Oprah’s show, American airlines gave him a row of three seats to himself.  His arrival in Chicago was met with a growing legion of adoring fans and paparazzi, and most curious to him…..snow! 

But he took it all in stride, sleeping off the jetlag anywhere he wanted at the hotel(but mostly on his own mattress). We’re not sure he’s up to signing pawtographs yet but watch for him to be on someone’s red carpet.  

Read about his recent adventures to Harpo studios and what it takes to feed (110lb/month!) and house this gentle giant, on George’s own website. 

Congratulations George!  He’s a George we can be proud of.

A little doggie whispered in my ear that Oprah is considering adopting another dog.    All the Busy Dogs are wagging with excitement over the news.  They are also concerned about the plight of so many good dogs in need of a home.   We all hope that Oprah chooses her next canine companion, be it a puppy or a more mature dog, from a deserving shelter.  She has featured puppy mills and rescue organizations on her show many times and this would give much needed attention to the thousands of dogs who are waiting to be loved.

Oprah, please don’t just go back to PAWS in Chicago and find another Sadie. . . showcase stories of how seemingly hopeless dogs have been rehabilitated and bond successfully with their new families.  Talk about all the great mixed breeds that are just as smart and wonderful as the pure breeds, and are waiting for a chance to have a home.  Use your great power to convince people to consider adopting a dog from a reputable shelter so that the no-kill shelters don’t have to turn any away.

With the crisis in Haiti and the housing crisis in our own country, there is a HUGE need for people to not only to open their wallets, but their hearts as well, to the plight of so many dogs in need.

We applaud Oprah for all of her past efforts in bringing attention to pet adoptions and support of shelters.

Oprah, here’s a suggestion….. adopt a rescue dog… name it TomCruise (you can call it Cruiser for short)….and then let it jump on your couch till its heart’s content!

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
