When Zorba, a mastiff, was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man.

This dog was only the size of a matchbox, measuring 7.1 centimeters (2.8 inches) tall and 9.5 centimeters (3.75 inches) from nose to tail. It weighed about as much as a common book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand.
