You have to watch out when Keon the Irish wolfhound starts wagging his tail because it is a huge 76.8 cm (30.2 in) long.



The friendly dog has broken the previous record for the Longest tail on a dog, held by a fellow wolfhound, by just over 4.5 cm (1.7 in).

Before achieving this record, Keon was required to be examined by a professional vet, who measured the tail from the top of the bone to the tip - not including the hair.

Keon is an Irish name that means "courageous warrior", but his owner Ilse Loodts says that he is a gentle giant.





Guinness World Records recently visited Keon and his family in Westerlo, Belgium, to present the extraordinary canine with an official certificate and set up a photoshoot for the Guinness World Records 2017 Edition book.
