\nA floppy-eared Japanese beagle with paw-fect yoga skills has scampered into the record books after setting the world mark for the «fastest 10 metres travelled on a ball by a dog. »
Ten-year-old female Purin — the Japanese for «pudding» — shot to fame last year when footage of the fluffy pooch breaking the Guinness World Record for the «most balls caught by a dog with the paws in one minute» went viral.
Not content with putting Japan’s J-League goalkeepers to shame, Purin will have yoga fanatics sobbing into their yoghurt after nimbly steering an inflatable training ball over a distance of 10 metres in just 10.39 seconds to become a double world record holder.

Purin, who lives with her owner Makoto Kumagai in Tokyo, broke her latest mark in some style, first produced her record-breaking balancing act on March 23 — when dog-lovers around the world celebrated National Puppy Day — clocking 11.9 seconds.
Ever the perfectionist, she went out and shattered that mark on Sunday.
«Purin is a superstar in her own right now, having achieved double-record status with her latest exploits,» said Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday.
«Justin Bieber is the youngest artist ever to achieve five number one albums — but can he run 10 metres on a Swiss ball? »
Purin made «Beliebers» of the doubters in September by saving 14 mini footballs in a minute by standing on her hind legs and catching them with her paws.
The fluffy keeper expertly brought the ball into her chest in textbook fashion — doubtless to avoid «ruff» tactics from opposing strikers.
The multi-talented beagle can also skateboard, walk on two legs and skip with a rope, helped by Kumagai.
Japan owns some of the strangest Guinness records, including the world’s heaviest strawberry, tipping the scales at a whopping 250 grammes (8.82 ounces), and the biggest-ever baby crawling contest, set by 601 bawling toddlers in Yokohama last November.<\/p>\n
