Meet the UK's biggest dog - an 18 stone 'gentle giant' who eats an entire chicken for dinner every day.

Two-year-old Abu, a Turkish Malakli, stands at 7ft 2in when on his hind legs and weighs just over 18 stone - the same as a baby elephant.

Owner Dylan Shaw, 33, believes this makes him the UK's biggest dog - and he's expected to put on a few more stone in the next year.

The huge hound wolfs down 3kg of meat a day, including one whole chicken, three whole mackerel, two eggs, and raw meat dog food every day.

Dylan says Abu's diet costs him £11 a day - a little over £4k a year.

But, despite his size, Abu is a "gentle giant" who thinks he is a lap dog - and loves snuggling with Dylan's kids India, five, and Reuben, four, on the sofa.
