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.”
