The loss of a gentle giant

We lost a friend last night.

Titan, who once held the title of "World's Tallest Dog" has gone onto the Rainbow Bridge.


As often is the case with a white Great Dane, he was born with a miriad of health problems.

He was blind, deaf and was diagnosed with epilepsy. Most recently, he started having more serious problems with his back. The doctors feared it was the dreaded Wobblers, but after a series of diagnostic tests a definative diagnosis could not be reached.


On Tuesday, March 30th...his loving human gave him the greatest gift she could. She selflessly took away all his pain and suffering and helped him travel to the Rainbow Bridge. He will never be forgotten.


RIP Titan.

  11. Oh no! I watched an interview with Titan and his mom on tv. It was adorable. This big ol' dog backed up and sat right down on her lap and I remember thinking, "Yep, thats a Dane!" While I'm happy Titan is no longer in pain, I feel so bad for his mommy. I'm glad she has friends who understand losing your Dane is losing your family member. So sad....
