One look at Harbor the Black and Tan Coonhound and you'll believe a dog can fly, the Daily Mail reported.

The Guinness Book of World Records has named him the possessor of the longest canine ears on the planet. His left ear measures 12 and a quarter inches while the right is longer at 13.5 inches.

猎犬耳朵太长绊倒自己

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，如果你见到这只叫哈伯的黑褐色猎犬，你一定认为狗都能飞。

       吉尼斯世界纪录认定它拥有世界上最长的狗耳朵。他的左耳长12.25英寸（约31厘米），右耳长13.5英寸（约34厘米）。

       哈伯被训练去追浣熊，它的长耳朵据说能帮助把浣熊的味道扇到鼻子里来。

       但哈伯出生以来就一直在跟它的长耳朵斗争，小时候经常被自己的耳朵绊倒。
