Dog rescue staff are looking for a new owner for Major, who weighs more than 12st.
Major, an Anatolian Shepherd being cared for by Dogs Trust Loughborough, in Leicestershire, weighs in at a whopping 81 kg .Charity staff said Major had been put on a strict diet and exercise regime in a bid to help him lose weight.
Centre manager Celine Di Crocco said: "Major is the biggest dog we have ever cared for here at Dogs Trust Loughborough, but despite his size, he embodies the gentle giant spirit that has endeared him to everyone at the rehoming centre. "While being a bigger dog might mean there's more of him to love, it's essential that owners understand the importance of supporting their dog to maintain a healthy weight to prevent some of the health issues that come as a result of obesity."
