If you’re of the right age, you likely read Clifford the Big Red Dog at some point growing up (as I did). Well, Samson isn’t as big as Clifford, but he’ll most definitely do!
He lives in the U.K. and stands 6′ 5" on his hind legs.

Samson isn’t the only giant creature making the news at the moment. There’s also a giant mushroom in Mexico:
It’s 27 inches tall and weighs 41 lbs.
Meanwhile, there’s a giant squid in Australia:
It was originally 26 feet long and weighed 550 lbs (they think).
Meanwhile, at the other end of the size spectrum (and bringing us full circle back to dogs), one of the world’s smallest dogs has been voted its ugliest.
See for yourself:
His name is Elwood, and his owner has a high opinion of him (EXCERPTS):
"I think he’s the cutest thing that ever lived," said Elwood’s owner, Karen Quigley, a resident of Sewell, New Jersey.
Quigley said she rescued Elwood two
years ago. "The breeder was going to euthanize him because she thought
he was too ugly to sell," said Quigley."So ha ha, now Elwood’s all over the Internet and people love him and adore him."
Now there’s a pro-life sentiment for you.
