CASSELTON, N.D. - Measuring 3 feet tall (1 metre) at the shoulders and 7 feet (2.1 metres) long from nose to destructive wagging tail, he might be the world's tallest living dog.

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 farm house in eastern North Dakota.

Boomer can stare into a car window eye to eye with a driver. A 20-pound (9-kilogram) bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound (81-kilogram) canine a couple of weeks.

Weber says the fluffy black and white dog "comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around."

Weber plans to send Boomer's measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 4-foot (1.2-meter)-tall Great Dane that died this summer.
