As the story goes Barry found the boy in the snow and convinced him to climb on his back before carrying him to safety.

2. Great Dane

They sure aren’t the heaviest of dogs, but Great Dane’s regularly appear in the record books as the world’s tallest dogs. Just look at how big they are compared to chihuahuas. The aptly named Zeus, a Great Dane that lived in Michigan appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest dog in both 2012 and 2013. Standing on his hind legs he stretched over 7 feet 4 inches, which is taller than Shaq! Luckily these beasts are gentle giants that have a friendly nature and are noted for seeking physical affection from their owners.
