THERE’S no need to fill up this dog’s water bowl… he just strolls up to the sink and drinks straight from the tap.

Meet Zeus the Great Dane – officially the world’s tallest dog.

He’s three years old, measures 44 inches from paw to shoulder and when he stands on his back legs is an incredible 7ft 4in high.

He weighs 11 stone, munches his way through 15lb of food a week and when he’s lying on the sofa watching TV, owners Denise and Kevin Doorlag, and their son Nicholas have to sit elsewhere.

Denise, of Otsego, ­Michigan, said: “It’s fun to see people’s reactions, especially kids – they think that he really is a horse.”
