'People think my 6ft dog is a LION - feeding him costs an arm and a leg'
The two best friends also enjoyed a bit of time in the "man cave" where they hung out, watched movies and played pool together.The big dog eats five pounds of raw meat a day, which Jamal estimated it cost him about £1,200 a year.
Kenzo also made a few pedestrians uneasy, who often avoided walking past him due to his "scary" appearance."Some people are scared and cross the street when they see him and others just want to stroke and pat him.""Or they'll say 'what is that' and 'is that a pony' or 'is it a lion'." However, the humongous dog of Asian origins now calls East London home and has become part of the Miah family.
But the house had to have big iron gates installed so Kenzo wouldn't bowl over the back fence when he got excited."But after a few walks they got used to him.The dog-lover said he spent about £10,000 caring for the pooch including food, training and general maintenance.Jamal said: "A central Asian shepherd is not a dog for the beginner dog owner."I wanted him to be a friendly family dog and to break the stigma around big dogs like him.
Despite his overwhelming size, Jamal said Kenzo was quite popular with other dogs in the neighbourhood.
