This Couple Adopted A Tiny Shelter Puppy, When They Get Home They Got A Major Surprise

When Sue Markham fell in love with a gorgeous shelter puppy.

The only problem was that her husband wasn’t much of a dog person. So in order to try to sway him to let her keep the pup, she told him a little white lie.

she thought she was bringing home a small puppy.

The Markham’s named the little pup Yogi Bear, yet he did not stay very little for long.

Mark began to notice that he was getting a lot bigger than a regular Jack Russell.

Nine years later, Yogi turned out to be a full-sized Boston great dane. Much larger than the terrier the Markhams were expecting, great Danes weigh 135 pounds on average whereas terriers weigh less than 20.

He’s also 6’11” which is as tall as some NBA players.

"I thought a big dog would be a lot of work and could be trouble. We only have a small living room," Robert told Daily Mail. "I thought, "How much trouble can a Jack Russell be?" By the time he was five months old, he was bigger than any Jack Russell he came across at the park and he had this big tongue that lolled out of his mouth and a tail like a baseball bat."

Yogi eats $213 worth of food each month.

Every morning he eats four scrambled eggs and sausages and has his very own couch that he watches TV on. Basically, he’s as big as a horse. He actually wears a jacket made for a horse to wear when it’s cold out.

Take a look for yourself to see just how big Yogi is compared to his family.
