A floppy-eared Japanese beagle with paw-fect yoga skills has scampered into the record books after setting the world mark for the “fastest 10 metres travelled on a ball by a dog.”
Ten-year-old female Purin — the Japanese for “pudding” — shot to fame last year when footage of the fluffy pooch breaking the Guinness World Record for the “most balls caught by a dog with the paws in one minute” went viral.
Not content with putting Japan’s J-league goalkeepers to shame, Purin will have yoga fanatics sobbing into their yoghurt after nimbly steering an inflatable training ball over a distance of 10 metres in just 11.9 seconds to become a double world record holder.
Purin, who lives with her owner Makoto Kumagai in Tokyo, broke her latest mark in some style, producing her record-breaking balancing act on March 23 — when dog-lovers around the world celebrated National Puppy Day.
“Purin is a superstar in her own right now, having achieved double-record status with her latest exploits,” said Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday.
