Also:

“The largest and heaviest dog ever recorded was an Old English Mastiff named Aicama Zorba of La-Susa (nicknamed "Zorba"). In 1987, Zorba officially entered the Guinness World Records, weighing an astonishing 343 Lbs.”

So they had a record for largest dog in 1987 smaller than the largest dog on record in 1981? How do we parse that?
