Flynn and  his wife Wendy of Peabody, Massachusetts own Hercules.  Flynn, not a small man  himself, weighed 270 pounds and his dog still  weighed more than him, tipping  the scales at 282 pounds with a 38-inch  neck.   <img src="http://worldslargestdog1.com/Images/Hercules.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Flynn says that Hercules has paws  the size of softballs, but is  gentle as a baby and wouldn't hurt a fly. They  got him because Wendy  wanted a dog larger than their two-year old bull mastiff  was. They did  think he was big even as a puppy, which is why they gave him the  name  Hercules. However, they had no idea Hercules would get quite so big when  they  first got him and Flynn claims he's done nothing out of the  ordinary to  encourage the growth other then feed him a normal diet.  Proper training made their home easier to live in, specifically the  A  neighbor's son, David Delauri, is responsible for Hercules being  recorded in  the Guinness Book. One day, David was browsing through the  Guinness Book of  World Records and came across a dog that he was  positive was Hercules. After  contacting the Guinness Book of World  Records, Flynn discovered that the dog in  the book was a 296-pound  Mastiff that had died, making Hercules the current  largest dog in the  world. After faxing all the information they needed,  Hercules was  recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest dog  in  the world. When the  story of Hercules first became public, the press and media  were everywhere he  was. He was a guest on the Today show, CNN as well  as in many newspapers and  magazines. Hercules took it all in stride,  just wagging his tail each time  someone new came to the door with  cameras. There is very little that Hercules  doesn't take in stride  including getting along great with the Peabody's two sons, then 2 and 7.  One day Mr.  Flynn looked out the window and seen a bird perched on  Hercules's head eating  something and Hercules just sat there as if he  had no clue.   Since  Hercules seems to enjoy the limelight from all the attention  he seems to get, Mr.  Flynn said he would allow the publicity to  continue as long as Hercules enjoyed  it. He decided it would be great  to book Hercules out for kids birthday parties  and have the kids pay to  have their picture taken with the dog. Another  possible publicity  stint was a contest where the winner would spread peanut  butter on  their face and Hercules lick it off. What dog wouldn't love that!</blockquote>
