<H1 class=Headline><FONT size=3>NEWS ARTICLE: DOG SETS WORLD RECORD FOR
LONGEST EARS</FONT></H1>
<H1 class=Headline><FONT size=3>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. </FONT></H1>
<DIV style="CLEAR: both" class=StoryBody>
<P></P>When measured by officials, Harbor's ears were 12.25 inches for the left
ear and 13.5 inches for the right.
<P></P>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.
<P></P>These days, Wert said people often stop them to ask questions, take
photos or tug on his ears.
<P></P>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.
<P></P>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.<!--stopindex-->
