Finley the Golden Retriever Holds the Guinness World Record for Most Tennis Balls Held in the Mouth by a Dog

Finley, with his human owner Erin Molloy, obtained the record for the most tennis balls held in the mouth by a dog, with six balls at the same time. This golden retriever joined the Molloy family as a puppy in 2014, and he really loves to do many activities such as swimming, playing fetch, rolling around in the snow during winter, and chasing animals wandering in their garden. Finley started holding four tennis balls when he was around two years-old, and he was first seen to carry six in 2017.

“My dad would throw him a tennis ball, he’d catch it, drop it, then wait for my dad to throw another. Rather than bringing just one ball back to my dad, he brought back all six! He’s been a ball hoarder for quite some time now!” said Erin.

She applied the record in the Guinness World Records website, beating the previous record of five tennis balls by another Golden Retriever named Augie in 2003. After setting the record, Finley gained many followers on his Instagram page.

“I hope people look at Finley and see pure joy and really understand that he’s the happiest dog. He not only brings joy to his family, but people all over the world.“
