Meet Kevin – the world’s tallest living male dog, according to Guinness World Records' latest report.
Kevin resides in West Des Moines, Iowa, USA, with his family – Tracy and Roger Wolfe and their two kids Alexander (12) and Ava (10).
The family has other pets besides Kevin – three dogs, four cats, chickens, goats, and horses.
Speaking about Kevin who comes in at 0.97 m (3 ft 2 in) from his feet to his withers – an average height of a three-year-old child, Tracy and Roger describe him as a “gentle giant”.

Kevin loves hanging around with the other pets and treats them well.
One interesting thing about the gentle giant is that he is “terrified” of the vacuum cleaner.
The family describes the vacuum cleaner as the scariest thing Kevin has ever seen.
“Kevin is the epitome of gentle giant. In fact, he is scared of most things,” Tracey told Guinness World Records.
She added: “He is terrified of the vacuum. He won't let it come within 6 ft of him! He will jump and run to get away from it.”
The owner says Kevin doesn't like acting like the giant he is.
“I don’t think he’s aware he is as big as he is. He’s continuously trying to squeeze into small beds and sit on top of us, and do everything that the smaller dogs do,” says Tracey.
The owner, who works at a veterinary clinic, says Kevin likes to lie down.
“He doesn't love to actually sit. He will either stand or he will lay down. I think his legs are too long,” Tracey explained.
“He will also back his rear end up and sit his back end on my lap. He can then keep his front feet on the ground in front of him,” he added.
