I think the second Hercules is for real!

The second dog is really sad because it is so absurdly fat There needs to be rules on the title "heaviest dog" . . .

I don't know how anyone can think the first one, with the Mastino, is real. LOL That's completely ridiculous.

I agree that the second one is real and very VERY sad. That guy should be done for animal abuse or neglect or something...because Mastiffs have enough trouble with HD as it is without adding a massive amount of fat onto them.
SisMorphine...yes, you're absolutely right, there needs to be rules for that title.

I think a lot of people thought the first one was real! I did at first, then did some googling and found the links. People are very crafty with photos on the internet!
