A freaking huge dog
I don’t know enough about Newfoundlands or photo manipulation to say whether this is real or fake. What do you think?
Until there’s a consensus one way or the other, I’m going with real… I like to be amazed.
(via Reddit)

Forced perspective, most likely.
fake….check out the vet tech’s right hand….
It’s photoshopped. Notice the rail size and the distortion of the railing at the top and the blending around the arm
Not photoshopped, look at the line in the back from wall to ceiling, it is straight. And if you google dog grooming table they have seperated arms for diff size dogs
The way they took the picture…
Newfies get HUGE!!!
Umm…I’ve got some ocean front property here in Oklahoma I’d like to sell you…I’ll send photos…I’ll make you a good deal
I know Newfs and have handled them professionally…though they are big…(some over 200lbs) they aren’t that big (obv photoshop). However, on another note they do have webbed feet and have been said to pull fishing boats into land that have had engine failure. Awesome dogs…drool a lot…also a sign of a pure Newf is a spotted tongue!
Not photoshopped u can see its reflection in the metal pole off to the side
paint him red and call him clifford. Win.
YES
Right on!! hahaha!
You can’t say win to your own comment…FAIL!
I would say both lol. could be an actual picture then photoshopped to make the dog bigger
It’s perspective. The vet tech is way in the back of the dog and the table is also raised but if you’re not paying attention it makes it seem like the dog is 8′ tall.
On a personal note this fake photo was taken on my birthday.
It’s SOOO real, and so is the freaky doll in the background. I’d run away from both.
According to image error level analysis, it seems to not be photo-shopped, suggesting forced perspective, as has already been mentioned.

Forget the Newfie…Look at the size of the pug in the picture on the way! HUGE! This must be some monster dog factory…
The pug was definitely photoshopped.
And clearly, the vet tech is an elf and that dog is a hell hound. Geez, it’s so obvious.
I can’t evaluate for photoshopping or not, but one thing I know for sure is that nothing will bring out the comments like the question of whether an image is photoshopped or not. (Whether you actually ask the question or not.) Everyone’s a geek when it comes to this. “Behold my image manipulation detection skillz!” I find it amusing.
Damn big dog in any case.
The dog isn’t that big, but the woman is really, really small.
I thought it was a man.
I call forced perspective.
And the result of the poll is?
The largest dog in the world is George, a 7ft long Great Dane. You can look him up online. Been on Oprah, set the Guinness World record and more. The lady in the pic is really tiny. Look at the size of her in comparison to the poster on the wall behind her.
It isn’t shopped, too many things line up too perfectly to be photoshopped, however it is definitely a forced perspective picture.
I don’t think it was photoshopped. Look at the table — the table is about hip high. Add that, lots of fur and a forced perspective.
ok say hes real sitting he looks 8 to 9 feet sitting up on his hind legs 14 to 15 feet i dont think so and how huch does he eat a day ?
I’m 99.9% its not photoshopped and doesn’t use _heavy_ perspective for 3 reasons:
1) If you use google image search to search for the image (by copying the location and putting it in to google, it will analyze and search for similar pictures), you’ll fine non-cropped pictures of the room that seem to give a better idea of some objects that you might know the size of and can relate to the dog.
2) If you look closely, there’s the power cord for an electric razer that goes from the girl’s left hand, around her arm, to the front of her arm, and then passes in front of the dog, off the table. So, she is not that far behind the dog.
3) The dog is standing on all fours, the fur near the girl on the table has been shaved off, so the dog is in the middle of a grooming (or haircut for surgery).
The dog is probably standing on all fours facing as straight on to the camera as possible, so when you look at it, the dog’s face is the closes part (light perspective for this picture), thus appearing large.
If you scan the picture quickly, the fur on the table kinda makes it look like the dog is sitting, therefore appearing that he is very tall, even when sitting, although he is on a table and is next to a short woman.
Yes, I wasted waaaay too much time thinking about this.
