Boo Boo, the World’s smallest dog by height, recently met Giant George, the World’s Tallest Dog in New York City’s Central Park. The two extraordinary dogs were promoting the newest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. Although Boo Boo’s owner seemed a little worried that George may accidentally swallow the tiny pooch without even noticing it, the weird duo got along well.

We’ve written about all kinds of canine world records, the World’s Tallest Dog, the World’s Smallest Dog, the World’s Oldest Dog, the World’s Ugliest Dog, but here’s one we didn’t think of so far. Puggy, the Pekingese is the official Guinness World Record holder for The Dog with the Longest Tongue in the World. His humongous tongue measures 4.5 in (11.43 cm). Watching him eating ice cream is definitely spectacular.

There are times when I have to post some sad news and this is one of those times. Otto, the World’s oldest dog crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday, just weeks before his 21st birthday, which would have made him 147-years-old in human years. The British dachshund-terrier mix was suffering from stomach cancer and had to be put down. Otto won the title from Guinness last October following a battle of several contestants for the empty throne of the previous record holder, Chanel. R.I.P. Otto!

Following the recent death of Gibson, the Guinness Record holder of the World’s Tallest Dog title, a new candidate has emerged to become Gibson’s heir.
Boomer, a Landseer Newfoundland dog from Casselton, N.D. can drink from the kitchen sink without lifting a paw from the floor, and stare into car windows eye to eye with drivers, but he is still somewhat below the gigantic proportions of Gibson. He stands 36 inches tall at the shoulders, measures 7 feet from nose to tail, and weighs 180 pounds, while the late Great Dane was 42.2 inches tall and 7.1 feet long. Boomer’s owner, Caryn Weber plans to send his measurements to Guinness World Records for consideration as the tallest living dog.
