Meet Toby, the nine-year-old golden whippet from Canada with a taste for fun and a challenge.
Toby is now the Guinness World Records title holder for the fastest time to pop 100 balloons by a dog.
Toby (whose real name is actually Loughren Christmas Star) already had the record with a time of 36.53 seconds.
But with a lot of support from his owner, Christie Springs, with whom he has lived since he was 12 weeks old, Toby managed to go even faster.
Christie said one way to practice was to fill up a swimming pool with balloons and let Toby swim around like a shark, popping them as he went!
It worked because in April 2017 near his home in Calgary, Toby set a new record of 28.22 seconds!
Toby was watched by 50 friends when he faced his challenge. He is very much loved in his neighbourhood and enjoys entertaining people with Christie.
