He was the world’s largest male – now the Great Dane named “Kevin” has died unexpectedly. “Our entire family is devastated for Kevin,” Guinness World Records quoted his owner as saying. “Kevin” was only three years old. The male was 97 centimeters long, from legs to withers.
A Great Dane normally grows to an average height of 76 centimeters. Kevin lived in Des Moines, Iowa, with his owner Tracy, her husband Roger and their children Alexander and Ava. The family described the dog as a “gentle giant”.
Named after movie character
It is named after the main character from the movie ‘Home Alone’. According to the Guinness Book, the male had many ‘animal brothers and sisters’, including cats. He got along well with them, owner Tracy reported. Naps on the couch were Kevin’s favorite activity. He was afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Kevin also felt uncomfortable measuring for the record. According to the Guinness Book, he was shocked by the measuring tape.
The Guinness Book also reported that Kevin was recently named the largest male dog in the world. He was the successor to the Great Dane Zeus, who “tragically passed away” last year. With a height of 1,046 meters, Zeus from Bedford, Texas won the record title in 2022.
