Kevin, the Great Dane who received the title of ‘world’s tallest dog’ from Guinness, is terrified of the family vacuum cleaner.

The dog, named after Macaulay Culkin‘s character in the movie Home Alone, measures 0.97m from paw to withers (the ridge between the shoulder blades), but stands over 2m tall when on his hind legs.

Kevin, 3 years old, lives in West Des Moines, Iowa, with three other dogs, including a small pug, and four cats. Despite his size, his owner stated that he is a “gentle giant” who loves to climb on his family as if he were a lapdog.

Additionally, she mentioned that he is terrified of the vacuum cleaner they have at home. “He won’t let that thing get within two meters of him. He will jump and run to get away,” said Tracy Wolfe to Guinness World Records.

“He has always been very gentle with the other dogs,” added Tracy, who also mentioned that he gets along “well” with the family cats. “He occasionally tries to chase them, but if he catches them, he just licks them.”

Kevin is still slightly shorter than the tallest dog of all time, according to Guinness World Records. Zeus, another Great Dane, measured 1.118m and died in 2014 at the age of five.
