Every year, Guinness World Records selects dogs that excel through their innate qualities or learned skills and presents them with one of the prestigious medals.
Guinness World Records’ pet records are quite well-liked, but none are as well-liked as the dog categories because people adore dogs, according to editor-in-chief Craig Glenday.
People have a special affection for man’s best friend, therefore if owners can get their animal honored in the Guinness Book of World Records, they will undoubtedly try.
Dogs have often shown that they are just as capable of performing amazing feats as people are, from having the longest ears to holding the most tennis balls in their mouths. Here are just six people who have broken world records according to Guinness.
