Guinness World Records finds dog with longest tongue

A dog named Zoe from the US state of Louisiana is officially recognized as the owner of the longest tongue among living dogs - 12.7 cm. The record was recorded by veterinarians and representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.

The previous record was held by a dog Bisbee setter breed with tongue 9.49 cm. Zoe is a mix between a Labrador and a German Shepherd.

Her owners, Sadie and Drew Williams, took the dog in when she was six weeks old. As a child, Zoe's tongue often protruded from her mouth. The owners thought that she would grow up and everything would fall into place, but nothing changed over time. Passers-by often commented “what a long tongue your dog has,” the owners added.

Zoe enjoys being outdoors, fetching balls, chasing squirrels, driving and swimming. But she also hates taking baths. Fortunately, a big tongue does not prevent her from enjoying life.
