Not Just Another Picture of a Dog

True, this looks like another ho-hum photo of a dog - but here's the thing - I did NOT need to bend down to look this fellow in the face. This dog is nearly as tall as I am with the top of his head level with my chin. He was so tall that my dog Lola Malu could almost stand beneath him and I daresay he's only a few inches shy of being a miniature pony.
