Twinkie the Jack Russell terrier just accomplished something most humans never will: breaking a Guinness World Record.

The Jack Russell burst the previous record for "Fastest time to pop 100 balloons by a dog" with a 39.08-second time. Balloon popping runs in the family-- Twinkie's mom Anastacia broke the record twice, once in 2005 and again in 2008.

Cally the Wonderdog previously held the record, bursting 100 balloons in 41.67 seconds.
