Strange but true . . .
A Great Dane from Tucson, Arizona, has been declared the world's tallest dog.
Giant George is the new Guinness World Records holder of the title, measuring a mighty 43 inches (109cm) from paw to shoulder and 7ft 3in (2.2m) from nose to tail.
His title was announced after a special Guinness World Records adjudicator visited the lofty hound to verify his measurements.
Meanwhile, a 22-inch tall man has left his home country of Nepal in a quest to be recognised as the world's shortest man.
Khagendra Thapa Magar is travelling to Europe to campaign for the Guinness World Record title. He applied for a place in the record book in October, soon after turning 18, but said he has not received any response.
Mr Magar and his father, Rup Bahadur Thapa Magar, plan to appear on an Italian television show to talk about his bid for the title. The current record is held by He Pingping of China, who is 29 inches tall.
