Had unusually long tongue from the beginning
The canine owners, Sadie and Drew Williams got her when she was six weeks old, and they almost instantly paid attention to her unusually long tongue.

“We got Zoey when she was only six weeks old and in the first-ever picture we have of her, she has her tongue sticking out,” Sadie told Guinness World Records.
She said, “We thought surely she’d grow into it but she obviously didn’t. She still has an enormous tongue compared to her body.”
Popular among neighbours
The doggo has a penchant for being outdoors, fetching balls, chasing squirrels, car rides and swimming in the canal. The only activity that she dislikes is getting in a bath.
Zoey is famous among her neighbours, given her endearing antics.

Drew said, “Every now and then while we’re out taking her on a walk, people will come up to her and want to pet her. We’ll warn them ahead of time ‘Hey, she’s friendly but she might slobber on you,’ and every now and then she will, and they’ll have a big slobber mark on their black pants.
