Google Dog

This just in from the Sun:

Boris the bullmastiff is so big he can be seen from SPACE.

Seriously.  Boris was catptured relaxing in his garden by a Google Earth satellite.  This dog is so big that he  can be seen stretched out in his favorite position on the Google Maps website.

The massive mastiff lives with the Milner family who run the Tudor Grange Hotel in Bournemouth, Dorset, England.   

Fran Milner, 24, whose parents Bob and Carol run the hotel, said: “My brother-in-law was on the internet one day when he decided to look at a satellite picture of our hotel.

“He zoomed in a little way and noticed a big brown blob on the grass in front of the sundial.  “Then he realised it was Boris. He was in his favourite place. He loves lying there because it is a bit of a suntrap.  “We all had a look and couldn’t believe it. I knew he was big but didn’t think he was big enough to be seen from space.”

The satellites used to take the Google Earth images operate at an orbit of between 300 and 450 miles up in space.

According to the Daily Mail:

Boris is now considered a celebrity among guests who line up to have their picture taken with him.

 Boris looks like a beautiful dog but — puh-leez don’t try to beat his record for largest dog.  We adore huge dogs but, all too often health problems go along with enormous size.  According to Boris’ owners:

Although he can’t do much exercise he loves swimming in the sea. But for the moment he’s doing what he loves best which is lying by the sundial for hours on end.

Boris is only three years old.  If he’s already at a point where he can do little but swim and lie in the sun, his size may be impressive but his health most certainly is not.  Bigger is NOT better!
