IT'S NO TALL TALE.. A NEW WORLD RECORD MAY SOON BE COMING TO CASSELTON NORTH DAKOTA. A DOG.. OUT OF THIS WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO SIZE. TALLER THAN NEARLY ALL HUMANS. TRAVIS SKONSENG HAS THE STORY.... NAT SOUND. TRACK 1-IT'S NOT JUST SMALL TALK AROUND THE TINY TOWN OF CASSELTON. BYTE-HE'S BIG. HE'S BIG. BYTE-I THINK IT'S GONNA ATTACK ME. TRACK 2-THE BIG NEWS THESE DAYS IS ABOUT BELOVED BOOMER.. NO COMMON CANINE. BYTE-WHEN WE GOT HIM, HE WAS THREE MONTHS OLD AND HIS LEGS WERE REALLY SHORT AND HIS BODY WAS REALLY LONG AND I THOUGHT, HE'S GONNA HAVE SHORT LEGS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HIS LEGS TOOK OFF AND THEY MATCHED THE LENGTH OF HIS BODY. TRACK 3-THAT'S RIGHT.. THE NOW THREE YEAR OLD NEWFOUNDLAND WEIGHS 180 POUNDS. NAT TRACK 4-WAY ABOVE THE AVERAGE FOR THIS TYPE OF POOCH. NOT TO MENTION BIG BOOMER'S IMPRESSIVE HEIGHT OR LENGTH. BYTE-HE'S MUSCLEY, LIKE THICK LIKE DOG, PURE DOG, HE'S JUST BIG. TRACK 5-OWNER CARYN WEBER IS HOPING THE OVERLY INTIMIDATING BOOMER MEASURES UP. NAT TRACK 6-SHE'S HOPING HER SO CALLED SWEETHEART BECOMES WORLD RECORD MATERIAL AS THE TALLEST LIVING DOG. BYTE- TRACK 7-IN FRONT OF A SLEW OF MEDIA.. NAT TRACK 8-CASSELTON FILLS WITH ONLOOKERS CAPTURING THIS RARE MOMENT. NAT TRACK 9- WITH RULERS IN HAND.. WITNESSES CLOSELY WATCH WHAT COULD BECOME HISTORY. NAT TRACK 10-THE NERVOUS BOOMER DOESN'T LIKE ALL THE ATTENTION.. BUT HE EVENTUALLY GIVES IN. NAT OF SIZES TRACK 11-AFTER ALL.. IT'S NOT EVERYDAY YOU SEE A LARGE DOG THAT NEEDS IT'S OWN TAXI TO GET AROUND. WEBER WILL SEND THE MEASUREMENTS TO THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS TO BE VERIFIED. IT COULD TAKE WEEKS BEFORE WE KNOW IF BOOMER BECOMES EVEN MORE FAMOUS.  « Less
