The most adorable golden retriever just earned himself a prestigious title in the Guinness Book of World Records. ๐Ÿ†

Sometimes, life just throws ya a bone.

Or in this case, a ball... six of them to be exact. ๐ŸŽพ

Finley, the seven-year-old pooch from Canandaigua, New York, can hold six tennis balls in his mouth at once, beating the previous record that was held for a whopping 17 years by another golden retriever in Texas who could fit five.

Finley will be featured in the 2022 edition of the Guinness Book of Records and his hoomans are beyond proud.

Cheri and Rob Molloy and their daughter Erin told the Democrat & Chronicle that Finley started picking up tennis balls when he was two-years-old and worked his way up over the years.

And yes, of course Finley has his own Instagram page... and yes, he has more followers than me. Go ahead and give this good boy a follow @finnyboymolloy!

"BIG NEWS! I can officially say that I am in the @guinnessworldrecords book for 2022! This of course wasn't easy, and certainly felt like forever and a day to accomplish! Thank you to all my friends and fans who have been following my tennis ball journey since the beginningโ€”was it worth the wait?๐Ÿ˜‡" Finley's family wrote on Instagram for his 48.6k followers.

Finley beat the previous world record last year and is now officially in the history books:

Their daughter Erin could barely contain her excitement, "When I look at him, I'm like, 'I want to squeeze you, I love you so much'" and I get it. Just look at that face!

"The joy he brings to us is one thing... But he brings joy to people all over the world," Cherie Molloy said.

Finley might very well be the goodest boy.
