The Largest Number Of Tennis Balls Held In The Dog’s Mouth
How many tennis balls can your dog fit inside his mouth? Chances are, the answer is zero since they would just hold it. Well… Augie, a stunning golden retriever, managed to gather 5 tennis balls (regulation-sized) in 2003. Now that is a big mouth for a cute doggo.
The Longest Dog Ears
Tigger, not the one from Winnie-the-Pooh, a bloodhound, had very floppy ears. Turns out they were the longest ever recorded. One of them was 34.2 centimeters (13.5 inches) and the other one was 34.9 centimeters (13.75 inches). The Guinness World Record was officially signed in 2004.

She is just 15.87 centimeters (6.25 inches) tall and a service dog. This takes good things come in small packages to a whole new level.
