Just six insane dogs that have won amazing Guinness World Records

Every year, Guinness World Records chooses dogs that exceed expectations either through their learned talents or natural attributes, and gives them one of the iconic awards.

"Pets records at Guinness World Records are very very popular but none really are as popular as the dog's categories, people love dogs," Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records said.

Man's best friend holds a special place in people's hearts and if owners can have their pet memorialized in the Guinness Book of World Records they'll certainly try.

From longest ears to most tennis balls held in the mouth, dogs have proven time and again they are able to complete incredible feats just as humans can. Here are just six that have accomplished Guinness World Records.

Zeus, the Tallest Dog Ever

Zeus the Great Dane holds the record for tallest dog ever. Standing at 44 in high (1.118 m), Zeus' height was an impressive one, even for a Great Dane. When standing on his hind legs, Zeus was nearly a third of the height of a giraffe.

Unfortunately, Zeus died in 2014 at the age of five.
