Carolyn Webber of Casselton, North Dakota just might be the owner of the record-holding, biggest dog in the world. Boomer, a 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland, stands 3 feet tall and measures out, from his nose to the tip of his tail, to an astounding 7 feet long. Weighing in at a hefty 180 pounds, the pilous black-and-white Boomer consumes a 20-pound bag of puppy chow every few weeks and as for water, the colossal canine stands on all four paws and drinks straight from the kitchen faucet.

Although he may not be as famous as the Obama family's First-pup Bo, Newfoundlands, Boomer's breed, have a history of roaming the white house halls; Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, and James Buchanan all had Newfies as companions while in office.
