New Record for Largest Dog in the World?
Also: Duke the Flying Border Collie
And: Wolfhound Skips Rope

PEABODY, Mass. (USA) — I say, has anyone seen a 283-pound dog out there?
If you have, you have a few days to call up Guinness World Records before they hand over the Largest Dog award to "Hercules", an English Mastiff with a 38-inch neck and 282 pounds of pure dog.
Nine-year-old David DeLauri of Lynn, MA overheard his father talking to the dog's guardian John Flynn earlier this week. The youngster had been reading the Guinness Book and was quick to point out that Hercules is a record-breaker.
Sure enough, after faxing veterinary records to the Guinness office in New York, Mr. Flynn was notified that his pooch (does the word "pooch" still apply to dogs who weigh as much as Hulk Hogan?) will be listed as the official Largest Dog in the World unless someone else comes forward.
With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old behemoth outpaces his breed's average 200lb. limit, although Mr. Flynn indicates that there has been nothing abnormal about his diet. He reports, "I fed him normal food and he just grew."
LEICESTERSHIRE — Hercules' sheer volume may have won him the Largest Dog title, but apparently the Heaviest Dog title still rests with "Kell" who weighed in at 286 (just four lbs. heavier) in August of 1999. This English Mastiff, however, only has a 32-inch neck.

UPDATE Apr 14, 2007 - Herculean Hoax
This phantasmagoric photo of "Hercules" has been recently circulated around the internet; however it is a digital fraud. We'll have a picture of the real Hercules for you on Monday.
