When it comes to popping balloons, kids aren't the only ones who love a good pop moment. The sense of achievement is like popping out bubble wrap for many adults. It's therapeutic, or at least we think so.
So when we saw this video of the previous record holder of balloon popping for a dog, we had to share it with you. Besides sharing something super cute, which is something that is proven to get people feeling better, believe us we have tried it on several online meetings, we wanted to ask you to send us your cute dog videos.
Twinkie may be little but you will see in the video that she is feisty in her balloon popping mission. Twinkie, who is owned by Doree and lives in California, has followed in her mother's footsteps.
"Twinkie seems to have inherited her passion for popping from her mother Anastacia, who is also owned by Doree. Anastacia set and broke the record twice between 2005 and 2008 and then held on to it for seven years. She earned fame after demonstrating her talent on the Live with Regis and Kelly show," Guinness World Records reports.

This cute guy, Toby, seems to be the latest record holder. In 2018, he broke Twinkie's record of 39.08 and achieved a whopping record of 36.53 seconds to pop 100 balloons.

According to an article in CNN, watching cute animal videos is actually good for your health. A study that was conducted by The University of Leeds in the United Kingdom showed that watching cute animal videos for 30-minutes affects one's blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety.
"The study recorded that average blood pressure dropped from 136/88 to 115/71 -- which the study pointed out is "within ideal blood pressure range." Average heart rates were lowered to 67.4 bpm, a reduction of 6.5%. Anxiety rates also went down by 35%, measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, a self-assessment method often used in clinical settings to diagnose anxiety, according to the American Psychological Association."
Just in case you didn't already know, by making these videos available to you, we are actually helping you destress.
Talk about winning all round!
