Long-eared dog makes it into record book
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/oukoe_odd_germany_dog

FULDA, Germany (Reuters) - A basset hound living in the central German town of Fulda has made it into the Guinness Book of Records for having the longest ears in the world, measuring 33.2 centimetres, or just over a foot.


One-year-old Jack's ears are so long that he sometimes trips over them and has a hard time keeping them off the ground, his owner said on Wednesday.


Owner Claudia Baus said she measured Jack's ears after reading a newspaper article about a basset hound supposedly having the longest dog ears in the world.

What else is Fulda known for?

2/3 of M.A.T.C.O.M. have resided thereabouts at one time or another. :D

3. If they are smart, they aren't.
Truth be told, I don't remember it much. We left when I was 4. My dad worked at an Early Warning Radar Station on Wasserkuppe Mountain. We had to live with those...Army people...;-)

5. My basset Pookie had long ears, too.
All bassets trip over their ears, because they are not the most graceful dogs.

Thanks for posting cute pic.
