Dog bags record for having longest tongue in the world
A 'tongue-tastic' world record by a dog named Rocky has wowed people. His pictures will stun you too.
Guinness World Records often shares records created by different animals on their official Instagram page. And a dog named Rocky is the latest entry in their long list of records by doggos. This dog from the USA bagged a record for having the longest tongue in the world.
“Meet Rocky, the Boxer dog with a 'tongue-tastic' record! With an astonishing 13.88 cm (5.46 in) tongue, Rocky, the 9-year-old male boxer from Illinois, USA, has broken the record for the longest tongue on a living dog!” GWR wrote. Furthermore, they also shared a quote from the cute doggo’s humans. “As his proud owners Brad and Crystal Williams share, ‘When we walk Rocky, we often get told how extremely long his tongue is. We're obviously used to it, but others are really surprised to see it’,” the organisation added. “Rocky's tongue was measured by a vet, as he was sedated as part of a regularly scheduled dental procedure,” they further explained.
