Default This dog weighs more than me!

Here's one I took of my friend's dog Kevin. He weighs 72 kg which is 3 kg more than me!

I tried to take him for a walk once and he dragged me down the road on my knees - never again, though he is a loveable beast.

Thanks Steve, Mike & Wendianne for your comments I appreciate it. Mike, I did a quite a bit of post processing including sharpening to try to capture Kevin in all his glory.

Cheers,

Gerard

Hi GeorgiaPeach, Kev has a mixed lineage, he is part Great Dane, part Rhodesian Ridgeback, part Greyhound would you believe, and a few others thrown in for good measure. Not sure about Mastiff though.

Cheers,

Gerard
