I question the [claimed] height of the dog. Excluding the base, I would say the dog is probably 14-16 feet tall.

[PSmith, 11/02/2018]We followed the GPS directions and arrived at a locked security gate. We looked all over, but no giant dog was in evidence. Could it have been moved or taken for repair?
