"In December 2025, in Oklahoma City, a French mastiffâbull mastiff mix named Ozzy officially snagged a spot in the Guinness World Records for having the longest tongue on a living dog. Measuring an astonishing 7.83 inches from snout to tip, Ozzyâs tongue far surpasses the previous record of 5.46 inches held by a dog from Illinois.
His owner, Angela Pick, says Ozzyâs tongue has dangled out of his mouth since the day he was born. âThereâs nothing medically wrong with him,â she explained to Guinness World Records. âWeâve had him checked by a vet a few timesâno dental issues, no abnormalities. Itâs just awkwardly, unbelievably long.â
Despite possessing a tongue nearly the length of a pencil, Ozzy isnât much of a licker. Pick joked that he prefers giving gentle nose rubs over sloppy dog kisses.
At four years old, Ozzy has become a beloved member of his family, who describe him as âextremely lazy, but somehow energetic at the same timeââa mix of couch potato charm and sudden bursts of enthusiasm. His new world record has turned him into a local celebrity, drawing smiles wherever he goes.
With his gentle personality, oversized tongue, and unmistakable look, Ozzy has become yet another delightful reminder of the wonderfully quirky nature of the canine world."
