The Biggest Dog in the World.

The biggest dog ever known was a St Bernard named Plinlimmor, shown at an English dog show in 1886. He stood thirty-five inches high at the shoulder and weighed 214 pounds. Plinlimmon is now in this country, or, at least, was brought to America directly after being exhibited, having been bought by an .American gentleman at a price so large that it is said he never would tell what it was.
