Whenever you get stuff like this via email, ALWAYS check Snopes.

Nobody thought this photo was real, did they?

I knew it was PhotoShop the second I saw it. They didn't even get the Harry Potter reference correct: the Neo used in the HP movies is Fang, Hagrid's pet, not the 3 headed dog.
However, the Kell/Hercules info (about the English Mastiffs) is correct, and Zorba was a very real dog as well.

You'd be surprised what people believe. I'll just say the first time I got that picture in an email, it was from a very gullible friend

Definately photochopped! If that dog was eating too much itd be fat but its stretched out too. The shadow he 'casts' dosent look right compared two the others in the pic.

LOL to much dog, and there are reasons most were bread down, people are not responsible enough to take proper care of a dog like that.

If you have not seen old pictures of Irish Wolf Hounds I suggest taking a look they were by no means small dogs either!!

Funny pic. It is a Neopolitan Mastiff and they are big BUT not that big! We had 3 English Mastiffs once and our largest was a female that was 200 lbs. and not fully grown.

Great photo but you can tell it's fake because of the shadow on the ground. if the dog was THAT big his shadow would be bigger.
