Harbor's ear-span is greater than the height of the world's shortest man

 

Guinness World Records - Officially Amazing

A black and tan Coonhound called Harbour has earned a place in the Guinness World Records Book thanks to his humungous set of ears

Jennifer explains: "Cars will literally stop in the street to take a closer look and get a picture.  Often strangers will tug his ears which he really doesn't enjoy!"
Contrary to popular belief, this particular breed's long ears are for smelling and not enhanced hearing. When moving around Harbor's ears will fall into a rhythm that helps sweep scents into his nose.

You could fit the world's shortest dog (Brandy (US), 6in long) comfortably on each of Harbor's ear twice!
