Porky, owned by Ann Hansen, broke the world record for Greater Swiss Mountain Dog rail pulling at the Illinois Rail Museum in Union Illinois today. He pulled a whopping 5062 pounds. The previous world record was held by Mike Schurgot's Ali at 4982 pounds in September 2009. Congratulations to Porky and Ann!
I'm a veterinary technician in Carol Stream, IL and Porky is one of our clients! He pulls Ann around like he's hard at work...Hes a cute boy and well liked here at the Clinic. Congrats Porky!!

Exactly how strong are these dogs? For example would a strong person be able to out-pull them? I was thinking of getting one to use for my leg workouts (I would tie a harness to the dog and have one on me and we would play tug-of-war against eachother) I'm very active and wanted a dog that could keep up with me so I'm a little curious about their strength ability.
