Guinness has had many times information, which has been later proved to be wrong and/or controversial. They are nowadays more careful, but I wonder too if that dog can be 155 kg, maybe a typo and should be 105 kg...

Might not be the most flattering angle, he's a huge dog.

I've had first hand experience with a few English Mastiffs, they are huge dogs, tall and thick.

Yes mastiffs are big boys, I have also met many. But never any which would be close to 150 kg. Zorba (in photo shared by @Hello), which truly seems to be a record dog, didn´t look like anything special in that one photo, I wonder if it was still a young one in it. Well, these dogs do need owners, who know how to train a dog :) Even though it can be fun to see a dog dragging owner who is sliding behind it hanging on the leash, I think that owners prefer to walk.
