Just when you thought there was a record for everything, Otto the Bulldog sets a new one for 'Longest human tunnel travelled through by a dog skateboarder'.

The Peruvian pooch can be seen dodging 30 people's legs and shifting his balance quite expertly as he skates his way into the history books.

A tactical push of the paw halfway through must surely be just one reason that sets this dog apart from his canine competition.

The footage was filmed in Peru's capital Lima on Sunday and released today for Guinness World Records day.

The four-year-old Bulldog's proud owners described how the discovery of Otto's skateboarding talent was a happy accident.

"It all started like a game, then one time he was skateboarding very fast towards me and to avoid being hit I opened my legs and that's how the human tunnel was born."
