LOS ANGELES (AP) - During a ceremony Thursday, the Guinness Book of World Records officially proclaimed that a 4-year-old Great Dane named Titan from San Diego is the world's tallest dog.

Owner Diana Taylor says Titan is blind, deaf, epilectic and undergoes acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments every three weeks.

He is also a gentle soul who knows no strangers at the beach and is often mistaken by young children as a horse or cow.

Taylor says he stands 42.25 inches from floor to shoulder, weighs 190 pounds and doesn't stand on his hind legs because it isn't good for him.

Titan took over the title from Gibson, a 7-year-old harlequin Great Dane from Grass Valley, who died earlier this year after battling bone cancer.
