She eats through 50 pounds per week. Owner Ann Suplee said strangers often say her dog looks like "a horse galloping" and ask her "Are you getting ready for the Kentucky Derby?" according to a statement from Guinness. But super Nova is a pipsqueak compared to Giant George of Tucson, the tallest male dog, who's 43 inches tall
