Update (6/25/2009): This was the first WoofWednesday contest and unfortunately not too many people answered and of those that did we did not have a single correct answer. But in the spirit of WoofWednesday we are still going to pick a random winner, which we will announce on Twitter/facebook so if you are following us you’ll know you won.

Answer: The breed of dog wearing the small designer lifejacket is a Pug.

The world’s record for the loudest collective bark was shattered by a group of dogs in the UK. The record was formerly held by a group of dogs in the US (better start giving those barkers a workout if the US wants the record back).

A group of 30 dogs pushed the barking barrier up to 115 decibels in Finsbury Park (UK). Way to go.

“A group of dogs in north London have set a new world record for the loudest collective bark.

The 30 dogs emitted a group bark of 115 decibels in Finsbury Park, breaking the record of 111 decibels set by 224 dogs in US state Vermont last year.

A German shepherd dog called Daz Lightning set the loudest individual bark record at 108 decibels.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Marco Frigatti witnessed the event and confirmed both new records.

The 30 dogs were given three chances to break the group bark record, succeeding on their final attempt.”

Here at DogToys.com we know how much dogs love to play. In fact it seems like it is always time to play when you’re a dog (unless of course it is time for food or time for sleep that is).

So since dogs are thinking “play time” nearly every second of every day, we thought we would share this fun Play Time Clock with you all.
