Invariably, there are gasps - of delight, awe, amazement - as she walks in the room.
Even by the standards of most Great Danes, Morgan has presence. She stands 38.6 inches (98 centimetres) at the shoulder, and weighs 218 lbs. (99 kg).
She has a great big goofy smile and floppy ears. Her paws are like big furry softballs on the end of her startlingly looooong legs. Her head is quite a bit higher than an adult's hip, and she has no trouble checking out the treats on the counter at the Pet Valu in Kitchener where she was the star attraction Friday.
Morgan, who lives in Melbourne, Ont., just west of London, was in town to help Pet Valu promote Pet Awareness Month, its fundraising efforts for homeless pets.
She holds the Guinness Record for the tallest female dog. Like any star, she's wearing her bling, a pastel-pink, rhinestone-studded collar (heavy-duty size, and buckled at the last hole).
She clearly wears her celebrity lightly, as she cruises the room, greeting everyone with a friendly wag of her tail, which like everything else about her is oversize and reaches almost to the floor.
She has her own
Facebook page
, with more than 1,400 likes, that features her puppy photos and pictures of her lounging with all her dog toys.
"We got her at eight weeks, and she weighed 22 pounds (10 kg)," said Cathy Payne. "By six months she weighed more than her mother," who tipped the scales at 110 pounds.
Having such an enormous pet presents unique challenges and pleasures, admit owners Dave and Cathy Payne.
No normal dog bed was big enough to accommodate her sprawling form - she dwarfs most couches. So they got rid of the coffee table and put a twin mattress in their living room for her to lie on.
They also sacrificed one dresser in the bedroom so there would be room for her to lie down there at night.
They bought a van and took out the back seats to accommodate her.
She chomps her way through nine cups (two litres) of dog kibble every day. They buy a 30-pound (13-kg) bag of dog food every couple of weeks, and put her dog bowls on stilts so she can reach it without bending. Vet bills are steep, since most medication is dosed by weight.
Buying her a winter coat was a particular challenge. The Paynes ordered the largest size Pet Valu sold, but it didn't even reach halfway down the sides of her chest, which is about the size of your average barrel. They ended up ordering a coat from a horse supply shop.
But this gentle giant is a big hit wherever she goes, said Cathy Payne. Her owners take her to events all summer, where she helps promote animal charities.
Pet Valu's fundraiser invites customers at every store to donate pet supplies or cash to help local charities for abandoned animals. "One hundred per cent of donations go to the charities," said Pet Valu's Donna Nicol. The store Morgan visited, owned by Sue and Kevin Brooks, is helping out the
Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society
and
Pound Dog Rescue
of Drumbo.
"She loves these events," said Cathy Payne. "She's just the sweetest little thing."
