World Record Holders
A Basset Hound whose grandfather gained fame as Biggles,
the face of Hush Puppies shoes, has made it into the new
2004 Guinness Book of World Records as the dog
with the longest ears, the company said.
Mr. Jeffries, whose full name is Knightsfollie Ladiesman, had
ears that measured 111/2 inches on Nov. 3, 2002, Guinness said.
Owner Phil Jeffries, of Southwick, England, said Mr. Jeffries,
whose ears are insured for $47,800, was often standing on
his ears, tripping over them and dragging them through his food
An Old English Mastiff holds the record for being the heaviest
dog. In 1989, "Zorba", a Mastiff in London, weighed in at 343
lbs.
The heaviest cat on record weighed 46 lbs., 15-1/4 oz. The cat,
named "Himmy", was a ten year old male tabby from Queensland,
Australia.

Interesting Stuff

Md., reported that 75% of a dogs genes have equivalents in
the human body. Comparisons with the mouse and human
genomes show that people are more similar to dogs than to mice.
Scientists use dogs as models for more than 350 human diseases.
When dogs are sick, they often have the same symptoms as
humans with ailments ranging from arthritis to tumors. The
dog genome will advance the understanding of human
diseases and provide information for veterinarians and people
interested in variations of dog traits.
Cats, camels and giraffes are the only animals in the world that
