Dog with the world's longest ears
Bassett hound Mr Jeffries has been declared the dog with the world's longest ears.
He has beaten his own grandfather to the title, says the latest edition of Guinness World Records.
Mr Jeffries, whose full name is Knightsfollie Ladiesman, has ears which measure 29.2cm (11.49ins). His grandfather was Biggles, the face of Hush Puppies shoes.
Owner Phil Jeffries, from Southwick in West Sussex said his pet - whose ears are insured for £30,000 said Mr Jeffries was often standing on his ears, tripping over them and dragging them in his food.
The new title-holder took on the record after his grandad died last year.
