Mochi Rickert is a very, very good dog. She also happens to have the Guinness World Record for the "longest dog tongue" in the world. Woah.

Mochi's tongue measures a whopping 7.3 inches from "snout to tip," or "the equivalent of two-and-a-half Jenga blocks in a row."

When she's not dribbling, eating peanut butter, or licking her own face, Mochi is bringing her owners boundless joy. She's a rescued St Bernard who's been with her family for six and a half years.

"She's brought a lot of joy to our life because she is so calm and she's also a comic relief to us because she's very funny," says Mochi's owner.

Her owner adds that Mochi's official naming as the world record holder for the longest dog tongue makes all the "water and slobber" she's cleaned up "well worth it."

Congrats Mochi!
