[Dailydrool] Longest ears!

[Hinchliffe at aol.com]

There must be a Drooler's furbaby out there who could  challenge this 
record!

whose ears were more delicate, but just as soft and  kissable)
NEWS ARTICLE:  DOG SETS WORLD RECORD FOR  LONGEST EARS
Harbor, a black and tan coonhound from Boulder,  Colo., has earned 
recognition from Guinness World Records as the living dog with  the world's longest 
ears. 
 
When measured by officials, Harbor's ears were 12.25 inches for the left  
ear and 13.5 inches for the right.  
Owner Jennifer Wert told The Associated Press when her 8-year-old was a  
puppy, he would trip on his ears and roll down stairs.  
These days, Wert said people often stop them to ask questions, take  photos 
or tug on his ears.  
The extra-long ears displayed on most hounds, particularly the Coonhound,  
are used not for hearing but primarily for smell. Harbor uses his ears close 
to  the ground to sweep odours up into his nose.  
Tigger, a deceased bloodhound from Illinois, laid claim to the previous  
record with a 13.75-inch right ear and a 13.5 inch-left ear, the AP reported.
