This is Zeus. I believe he is an English Mastiff and, in his prime, he was probably near 200 pounds. His head is absolutely humongous and he has a great brindled coat. He was a great dog loved by one and all. Zeus was raised by my good friend Tyson from the time he was a puppy and today, after living out a full life of 8 years, he was laid to rest under a Texas mesquite tree on "the back 40."
While he has recently lost a lot of weight, and was barely able to walk back there and had to take frequent breaks to catch his breath (the fact that it was well over 100 degrees today certainly didn't help with that,) he was able to fill the last few moments of his life instilling fear in the hearts of our longhorns with his ferocious bark. He was noble till the end and we're glad to have been privileged to provide him his final resting place.
Here's to you Zeus!
