Aaiieeeee! Run for the hills! There’s a Monster Dog on the loose!
Apparently our submitter found this mega-pooch while she was looking at real estate listings in the area – but says that she’s no longer sure if she wants to live in an area that’s terrorized by giant dogs.
However, here at GSS, we reckon a guard dog of that size would be a pretty effective burglar deterrent…

That’s a cement lorry
That’s no cement lorry, it’s the dog van from Dumb and dumber!
That looks ruffly the same size as a cement lorry.

Curiously, the “One Year Ago Today” image shows a… Giant Duck!
Well Vesyus, the 10th of January is World Giant Animal Day you know.
At least it is now
Yeah, that looks like a cement mixing truck to me. Nothing like a dog!
Hmmmm……. it’s white, so it’s not Clifford………
Must have come from that swampland nearby. Those Florida swamps hold all kinds of bizzare critters.
It is a cement lorry. Notice the form of the back “wagon” http://www.derrey.fr/picsUpload/Toupie.jpg
It may not be Clifford but it could be well be one of Digby’s offspring?
They sure like golf around these parts — I count about 15 country clubs/golf courses in the immediate area.

Who is Lorry and why is she driving a truck?
