    A dog with the longest

    EARS!!



    Dog has ears insured for £30,000

    A German basset hound with the longest dog ears in the world, has had them insured for £30,000.

    Jack, owned by Carsten Baus, has ears that measure a total of 13.07 inches.

    Baus and his family realised Jack might be a record-breaker when they read an article saying the longest dog's ears in the world measured 11.6 inches.

    "We measured Jack's ears just for fun and we were utterly surprised," said Baus. "We sent the information to a local paper and soon received a call from an employee at the Guinness Book of World Records."

    Baus said Jack soon became the talk of their small town, but not all responses were favourable.

    "All of a sudden taking him for walkies was like walking the gauntlet," said Baus. "People scolded us and accused us of cruelty to animals, when Jack's ears are really just a freak of nature."

    If Jack became the talk of the town, he sure heard every word being said about him.

    I think I have seen that dog,, and he is truly the cutest!!!!!

    I recall watching The PEt Pschyic show and there was this dog who seemed upset all the time,,, turns out he was upset over the fuss his parents made over the size of his ears,,, As soon as they stopped,,,, he became his happy bouncy self!!!!! how cute is that??
