"Meet Rocky, the Dog with the Longest Tongue in the World"

"Rocky the Boxer Sets New World Record with His Incredibly Long Tongue"

A 9-year-old Boxer dog named Rocky has broken the Guinness World Record for having the longest tongue on a living dog. Rocky's tongue measures an astonishing 13.88 centimeters (5.46 inches) from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tongue.
Rocky's owners, Brad and Crystal Williams of Normal, Illinois, said they always knew their dog had a long tongue, but they didn't realize it was record-breaking until they saw a news story about the previous record holder, a female Boxer named Mochi.
"When we walk Rocky, we often get told how extremely long his tongue is," Crystal Williams told Guinness World Records. "We're obviously used to it, but others are really surprised to see it."
To measure Rocky's tongue, the Williamses took him to a veterinarian, who sedated him and gently pulled out his tongue. The measurement was then taken from the tip of
Rocky's nose to the tip of his tongue.
"It was a lot of fun," Dr. Michael Bleem, the veterinarian who measured Rocky's tongue, said. "Rocky is a great dog, and he really deserves this."

Rocky's record-breaking tongue has made him a bit of a celebrity. He has appeared on several television shows and has been featured in news articles around the world. "We're so proud of Rocky," Brad Williams said. "He's a great dog, and he's brought so
much joy to our lives. We're glad that his long tongue has helped him achieve something so special. Rocky's record-breaking tongue is not the only thing that makes him unique. He is also a therapy dog, and he visits hospitals and nursing homes to bring comfort to people who are sick or elderly. Rocky loves to make people laugh, Crystal Williams said. "He's always wagging his tail and licking people's faces. He's a real joy to be around."
Rocky's story is a reminder that even the most ordinary-looking dogs can have something special to offer. With his long tongue and his friendly personality, Rocky has
brought joy to people all over the world.
