Could be a Dane

A former co-worker, Anthony, emailed yesterday that the dog I pointed out in the previous entry could be a Great Dane and attached a photo:

Hi, I think the dog might be a Great Dane. The dog "Scooby Doo" in the cartoon is actually a Great Dane. Is this how the dog looks like? Some of these dogs' ears can be altered so they appear to stand straight:

Great Dane (Deutsche Dogge, German Mastiff)

I think he's right. Although the dog isn't as young as the dog in the photo above, its long hind legs sure reminded me of Scooby's.
