A Yorkie mix has stolen the show at a Maine dog kissing contest after sloppily locking tongue to lips with its owner for 45.8 seconds straight.
Beau, a 12-year-old Yorkie and dachshund mix was named the two-year running champion at the Ninth Annual Valentine's Day Canine Kissing Contest and Cocktail Party in Portland on Tuesday [Feb. 12] night.
'Last year's winner,' which was Beau again, 'was upwards of one minute and some seconds, which is a pretty lengthy kiss to watch,' Jim Williams, owner of Planet Dog Company where the event was held told the Bangor Daily News.
A Staffordshire terrier named Sunny earned second place by smothering its owner's face,Casey Mountain, from top to bottom for a straight 16.8 seconds.
A wet sheen was easily seen left coating the man's face.
Third place went to Erik Boucher's dog named Django which was able to keep its tongue going for 11.7 seconds.
'It gets very competitive', said Mr Williams. 'Some of our dogs and owners actually train for this every year so they want to come out and have the longest kiss and we time every kiss.'
Beau was similarly to the other contestants heard coxed by his owner, Linda Walton, through pursed lips.
'Good boy, that's my good boy', Ms Walton encouraged her excited dog perched on her lap.
The longest dog to human kiss won Beau's owner $75 worth of Planet Dog products which she was said to have shared with the other runners-up.
The $5 entry fee to participate was a donation to the Planet Dog Foundation in support of canine service.
