Puppy balances on a ball and makes Guinness World Records

An incredibly talented dog called Purin from Japan has smashed the Guinness World Records title for the fastest 10 metres travelled on a ball by a dog in a time of just 11.9 seconds, making her a double world record holder. And on National Puppy Day, too!

Purin gained fame back in September 2015 when footage of her achieving the record for the most balls caught by a dog with the paws in one minute (14 times, by the way) went viral. Here she is doing just that.

Guinness World Records editor-in-chief, Craig Glenday, said: "Purin is a superstar in her own right now having achieved double-record holder status with her latest exploits.

It's a bit awkward when you realise a dog has more talent than you....isn't it?
