Over the previous weeks, while Annabel slept, Christie had applied to the Guinness World Records people on George's behalf. That February, one of their adjudicators came to watch George being measured in the presence of a vet. He was officially declared not just the world's tallest living dog (43 inches from paw to shoulder) but the tallest dog EVER.
The following week we flew to Chicago to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show and were put up in one of the city's most luxurious hotels. We had a huge sitting room, dining area and even a bar - but there was just one problem....
There was nowhere for George to sleep. That night, as we enjoyed a gourmet meal and a bottle of red wine, he struggled to settle on two roll-out divans provided for him. Infuriatingly, they wouldn't stay together. So, he had his head on one and back end on the other, but his stomach was sagging onto the carpet.
"You know what we need to do," I joked. "Give George our bed to sleep on and have the divans in this room ourselves."
Christie looked at me with a telltale gleam in her eye and I knew immediately my joke had been a fatal error. An hour later, our boy was sprawled in splendour in our huge, fluffy king-size bed.
"Well," whispered Christie, "George is the star here after all." She was right, of course, and since his appearance on TV, Giant George has built a following around the world, with his own fan club, website and 70,000 fans on Facebook.
None of this, of course, means anything to George. He still spends his days doing what he has always liked best: eating, playing and sleeping. Our cherished pet may have become a global celebrity - but really, he's just one of the family.
Man's biggest friend: Devoted owner Dave Nasser with George.
