Freddy got to enjoy a special birthday celebration as a part of his record-breaking accomplishment. He spent it with his owner Claire Stoneman, as well as his sister Fleur who is only a few minutes younger than him. Claire went out of her way to make Freddy and Fleur's birthday a big deal.

It included a garden party, lots of treats, and some of their favorite toys. There were also some special guests such as Erin. Erin has grown up with Freddy and has never been intimidated by his large size. The two enjoy a special bond with one another.

The friendship between Freddy and Erin is one that is built to last even when times are tough. This has never been more clear than during the current health crisis the world has been experiencing. During the lockdown, Erin and Freddy have found a creative way to stay in touch.

Erin has been able to say hello to Freddy by calling him on the phone each evening, reports the Daily Mail. The sound of her voice produces an immediate reaction from him every time that he hears it and it is truly heartwarming to hear about. This has shown that this is a friendship that is meant to last even when times are tough.

Erin is not at all intimidated by the size of Freddy. Many people are, but she has grown up with him and knows what a gentle and loving dog he is. When Freddy and Fleur's owner Claire takes the dogs for walks in the morning, many people often steer clear, but Erin has never been put off by the large proportions of this amazing dog.

It was in 2016 that Freddy took up the mantle of the world's tallest dog. From the ground to his back, he stands nearly 3.4 feet. He will now be able to add a second world record to his list of accomplishments but most people would say his most impressive attribute is simply his good-natured personality.
