A great Dane, who's been described as a 'gentle giant', has broken the record for being the world's tallest dog.

Three year old Kevin, from Iowa, stands at 3 feet and 2 inches or just under a metre, when on all fours.

Guinness World Records says that's as tall as an three-year-old child.

Kevin lives in West Des Moines, Iowa, USA, with his loving owners Tracy and Roger Wolfe and their kids Alexander and Ava, as well as his many animal siblings – three dogs and four cats, as well as chickens, goats, and horses.

His family, who named him after watching the film Home Alone, say he's scared of most things - including the vacuum cleaner.

They say even measuring him for his official record attempt proved tricky as he got spooked by the measuring tape.

Kevin eats between six and 10 cups of food every day, and snoozing on the couch is his favourite thing to do.
