Grass Valley, Calif. (May15) - The world's tallest dog is battling bone cancer.
Veterinarians had to amputate the right front leg of Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane. He is certified as the world's tallest dog -- at 42.2 inches -- by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Gibson was recuperating this week at his home in Grass Valley, a Gold Rush-era town about 60 miles east of Sacramento in the Sierra foothills. His owner, Sandy Hall, says well-wishers from around the world have been calling to see how he's doing.
She says Gibson will undergo chemotherapy. A certified therapy dog, Gibson will soon return to work -- visiting cancer patients, sick children, burn victims, amputees and veterans.
