My 7ft pooch is so huge fans call her ‘Dogzilla’ and think she’s a tiger – but she’s a big softy at heart
A DOG owner has been showing off her huge pooch that’s been dubbed ‘Dogzilla’ by its fans.
The enormous creature is an Alabai, which is a type of sheepdog from Central Asia, and its size has been compared to a that of a tiger – but as you can see if actually a big softy.
In a series of TikTok videos, user bigdoglover’s can be seen stroking her beloved pet, who seems to have won over a small army of fans.
The dogs are considered part of the heritage of the Central Asian country of Turkmenistan, where they were traditional kept to guard animals and homes.
In fact such is their prowess that the 7ft long dogs are known as ‘Wolf Crushers’.
Many fans simply said of the dog in the video that she’s “beautiful”.
Others were taken back with one saying “some bred a dog or a bear” while another Christened her “Dogzilla”.
Some amused themselves with comparing the dog to various huge animals including the “tiger” and “polar bear”.
“So we’re gonna act like that’s not a dinosaur,” said one fan.
Others pointed out that Alabais may seem fierce but they’re actually very easy to get along with.
Meanwhile, another dog lover says his pet is so big that people mistake it for a lion and sheepishly cross the road when the pair go for walkies.
The 6ft Central Asian Shepherd named Kenzo was adopted by East Londoner Jamal Miah after his friend had to give him away due to his huge size.
When on his hind legs, the three-year-old hound stands at 6ft and weighs in at 187lb – and it also costs an arm and a leg to feed him.
Despite his imposing stature, it was love at first sight for the pair who formed an “inseparable bond”.
Jamal said: “We saw him and said ‘oh my god’ He’s so big and he’s just a puppy. We have a really good bond together.”
