7-foot-long dog could be record holder

Boomer, a 180-pound Landseer Newfoundland dog, drinks water from the kitchen sink at Caryn Weber's home south of Casselton, N.D. The dog measures seven feet from nose to tail.

"The dog measures seven feet from nose to tail. stands 36 inches tall at the shoulders, measures 7 feet from nose to tail, and weighs 180 pounds."

so does it measure seven feet from nose to tail or 7 feet from nose to tail? maybe it measures seven feet from nose to tail and 7 feet from tail to nose.
