Diego is a Great Dane dog , but not just any dog but “the biggest” one in London , which is characterized by having its floppy ears and a collar with its name in the shape of a bone. Something that usually happens, due to its size and fur, is that Diego is mistaken for a cow, although it could be confusing to see a cow walking the streets of the city.
This dog is about 94 centimeters tall, and when you see him passing by, people may have the feeling of seeing a cow walking through the English capital, but no, it is Diego, a Great Dane dog. His human guardian is Carlos Da Silva, and every day he travels the distance from his home to work on a K-750 motorcycle and he does not do it alone, but Diego goes alongside him.
This dog has been part of their family since 2015, he is six years old and already has an adoptive brother, another dog named Nelson, who is two years old. “If I touch the sidecar, he knows we’re going out ,” Da Silva said in a conversation with MyLondon . “If I put on the jacket or get sick, he already knows, he’s really crazy.” Da Silva also explained that Great Danes tend to be lazy dogs, so once he puts him in the sidecar “and he sits down, that’s it.”
Diego weighs 95 kilos and is almost one meter tall, but that is not an impediment for him to go everywhere with his human. As for why he is so big, Da Silva thinks it may be related to his enormous appetite, since he doesn’t refuse anything and loves to accept food from strangers.
It is undoubtedly a dog that attracts attention and what usually happens is that some children confuse it with a cow. It could be interesting to see a cow accompanying its human to different places. It is worth noting that Diego is not only large in size, but his fur is black and white, which can help confuse children.
According to Da Silva’s story, Diego is quite popular, since it is inevitable that he attracts attention and many people want to take a photo with him, including police officers. His popularity is not only on public roads, but Diego has his own Instagram account and has around 5,000 followers.
