'My pet dog is so big people mistake him for a pony or a lion'

An east London man's dog is so big that people cross the road when they see him and often mistake him - for a pony or a lion. Jamal Miah adopted Kenzo, a Central Asian Shepherd, after a friend gave him up because the pooch had become too big. Kenzo, three, is six feet tall when he stands on his hind legs, and weighs a whopping 85 kilos - the average weight of a fully grown man. Passers-by are often shocked when they see Kenzo with many crossing the street to avoid walking past the huge dog. Caring for Kenzo comes at a cost. The big dog eats five pounds of raw meat a day. In total, Jamal spends £1,200-a-year on food for Kenzo. (Video SWNS)
