A Labrador and German shepherd mix called Zoey has actually declared the record for the longest tongue on a living dog.
At 12.7 centimeters (5 inches), Zoey’s tongue is longer than a soda can, according to Guinness World Records.
Her owners, Sadie and Drew Williams from Metairie, Louisiana, United States, said individuals typically discuss for how long Zoey’s tongue is.
“We got Zoey when she was only six weeks old and in the first ever picture we have of her, she has her tongue sticking out,” said Sadie Williams.
“We thought surely she’d grow into it but she obviously didn’t. She still has an enormous tongue compared to her body.”

Her owners state Zoey often slobbers on individuals that family pet her.
Zoey’s huge tongue is most apparent when she is panting after playing outdoors.
“It would be slobbering all over the place,” said Drew Williams. “So sometime last year we took her to the vet and measured her tongue.”
Measuring from the idea of her snout to the idea of her tongue, Zoey was acknowledged as a record breaker.
The 3-year-old dog is an enjoyable caring animal, according to her owners.
“She will pretty much go fetch anything you throw and swim in any body of water that’s available,” said Drew Williams. “But she hates getting a bath.”
Zoey is likewise friendly to complete strangers, however cuddling her includes its own dangers.
“Every now and then while we’re out taking her on a walk, people will come up to her and want to pet her,” said Drew Williams.
“We’ll warn them ahead of time ‘Hey, she’s friendly but she might slobber on you’ and every now and then she will, and they’ll have a big slobber mark on their black pants.”
Zoey beat previous record holder Bisbee, an English Setter from Tucson, Arizona, who declared the record almost 3 months back with a tongue determining 9.49 centimeters (3.74 inches).
Another previous holder of the record, Mochi “Mo” Rickert, had a tongue that determined 18.58 centimeters (7.3 inches). The female Saint Bernard held the record for 5 years, and passed away in November 2021.
