Augie, a Golden Retriever owned by the Miller Family of Dallas, Texas, USA, achieved the world record for the most tennis balls held in a dog’s mouth on 6 July 2003, successfully gathering and holding five regulation-sized tennis balls simultaneously. Golden Retrievers are celebrated for their gentle mouths — bred to carry game without damage — but Augie took this natural gift to an extraordinary extreme. His feat was verified by World Records Authority experts and is now inscribed in the official annals of history as a remarkable display of canine capability and determination.
