Dog Has 17-Inch Licker
'What The Heck Is The Matter With Your Dog's Tongue?'
It's been said that a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's, so maybe an occasional smooch from a cuddly canine isn't that bad.
But this isn't your ordinary dog. It's better to stand back when she tries to lick your face.
Seven-year-old Brandy the boxer, who lives in Detroit, has a 17-inch tongue that she loves to lick up pudding with.
Her owner is currently investigating Brandy's place in the history books and displaying her large licker on the Web at
Tungdog.com, where she also has a fan club.
"We were told she would grow into her tongue, but as you can see, she didn't," the site reads. "We knew Brandy was something special the first time we took her to the vet and he said, 'What the heck is the matter with your dog's tongue?'"
