Today's Extreme K9 is Mon Ami the Irish Wolfhound!
"Talk about being allowed a long leash. This dog actually needs one! Mon Ami von der Oelmühle is the longest living dog on record. The Irish Wolfhound measures more than seven and a half feet from nose to tail tip, longer than most professional basketball players are tall. The breed's friendly, gentle nature may explain his name: Mon Ami means "my friend" in French."
