“This pup's so proud of her popping power,” GWR wrote while sharing the video. While replying to their own comment, they added that the pup from the US created the record of “fastest time to pop 100 balloons by a dog” in 2014. The pooch did so in 39.08 seconds. Currently, however, the record is held by a whippet named Loughren Christmas Star AKA Toby hailing from Canada who bagged the world record title after finishing the feat in 28.22 seconds.
