Stumble ThisSame dog Meriwether Lewis had. (Newfoundland)
"Boomer may be a buster: Measuring 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world's tallest living dog. Owner Caryn Weber says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family's eastern North Dakota farm house."

"Possibly the World's Tallest Dog" and "Measuring 3 feet tall..."
Does not compute.
He's in the running for tallest living dog, not tallest of all time. Considering 3' is in the typical height range for male Irish Wolfhounds, I would be surprised if Boomer makes the cut.
