A huge Great Dane who thinks he’s a tiny Chihuahua is in need of a new home after being abandoned.

The confused dog – called Tank – who now weighs over nine stone was nursed back to health after being found underweight.

The skinny pet weighed seven-and-a-half-stone when rescued – which was underweight for a dog of his size – and his ribs were clearly visible.

He was also suffering from bilateral cherry eye which required treatment.

The loveable giant was cared for at private kennels on behalf of the RSPCA for three months until a space became available at its Preston and district branch in Lancs.

And after months of care and rehabilitation he now weighs a much healthier 128 pounds and has made a full recovery as reported by What’s The Jam.

Tanya Barrett from the RSPCA, said: “Once Tank had reached a healthy weight he was put up for adoption.

“We had some initial enquiries with potential applicants and he got reserved but things didn’t progress any further and now the interest in him seems to have dropped off completely.

“He’s the biggest cuddle bug and loves nothing more than having a good play and then snuggling up on the sofa with his foster carers like a little lap dog.

“Despite his stature he really thinks he’s a chihuahua and he makes everyone laugh with his antics.

“Of course he’s a large dog and he’ll eat more and take up a bit more space, but he’s got such an easy-going personality and he’s super friendly.

“We’ve rehomed 33 other dogs in the time that Tank’s been with us and we’re all really hoping it will be his turn soon as he’ll make a terrific companion.”

An RSPCA spokesperson added: “Tank is looking for a home with people who have experience of large breeds.

“He can live with dog savvy children of secondary school age and possibly another compatible canine but not cats.

“He can be left on his own for short periods but will need ongoing training and support with this as he still gets a little worried if he’s left by himself.”
