THE Daily Mail introduced us to Balthazar, a seven foot Great Dane which at 15st 6lbs could be Britain's heaviest dog.
Owner Vinnie Monte-Irvin, from Nottingham, said: “He is a big dog and we were told from when he was a lot smaller that he was always quite heavy for his age.
“We took him to the vets as he has a poorly leg and he needed to be weighed to see how much medication he can take. After he was weighed everyone at the surgery was gobsmacked.”
