Australia has a new record-breaking star—and he’s a massive softie. An adorable bull mastiff from Sydney has officially been crowned the dog with the world’s longest tongue, measuring a jaw-dropping 8 inches from tip to base.
Affectionately nicknamed “Oz’s Top Licker,” the gentle giant has taken the internet by storm after Guinness World Records confirmed his astonishing tongue length, putting him well ahead of previous contenders. Standing tall, drooling proudly, and wagging a tail that never seems to stop, the bull mastiff has become an overnight celebrity across Australia and beyond.
According to his owner, the record-breaking tongue has been a source of endless laughter—and occasional mess—around the house. Whether he’s greeting guests, sipping water, or simply taking a nap, his extra-long licker always finds a way to steal the spotlight.
Veterinarians who evaluated him for the record say the tongue is perfectly healthy and naturally proportioned for a dog of his size, though admittedly “spectacularly long.” Crowds gathered in Sydney’s Centennial Park for the official measurement, where the dog charmed everyone with sloppy kisses and a gentle, calm demeanor.
Images of the 8-inch marvel have gone viral on social media, with fans around the world celebrating his quirky feature. Pet bloggers, dog lovers, and Australian media outlets have all dubbed him a national icon—and a reminder that world records don’t always need speed or strength. Sometimes, all it takes is a little extra tongue.
