Emma Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Looks like an edited photo of a husky or mally to me. I've seen lots of variants of the spitz breed but never one bigger than a leonberger (I think that's how it's spelt). Imagine the coat blowing if it's real.......oh my! And the size of the poop would be humongous! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Looks like it may be a wolf. Or a wolf hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormchaser09 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Face markings look like a malamute. We met one a few years ago which was about 3 or 4 times bigger than our wee Storm. Sent from my SM-P550 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulG Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I do not think its a fake photo touch up job, as the shadows match and the arms around the belly fit so do the paw sizes between front an back. That dog is a MONSTER yes there is a little bit of forced perspective but even then that dog is huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Looked it up and this is actually genuine. Accordingly he's about 90cm to the shoulder and 'only' weights about 45kg.

Markulous Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 This is Stanley who, whilst a big dog (45+ kg) is not quite as big as this - the only bit I had problems with was the paving under. Given a little more than the 15 mins I spent on the small web-sized image, I'd be able to do a full size version. But if I was to try and fool from scratch I'd just use a wide angle lens which enlarges the foreground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the dog and the human itself seem to be fine and unedited. Also, this is Daron the Leonberger. I have no idea what his size and weight was but he would be a good competitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markulous Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yup, now can see the tongue - easy to correct so you wouldn't spot that. As I say, it was the paving that was the real problem - if I did it 'for real' I'd clone in some paving from another shot Here's the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 wow - can you imagine the size of the poop bags you'd need to carry on a walk! :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
