While reading the news this morning I found out there is actually a Guinness World Record for the loudest bark. Who knew?
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.
While Bo and Copper couldn’t win loudest bark I’m pretty sure they could set a record for most things barked at. Let’s see-squirrels, leaves, people, dogs, UPS guy, FedEx guy, mailman, cats, doorbell, doorbell on TV, and… nothing.
If you had a neighbor who had dogs that bark incessantly, and did nothing , would you sue them? The answer for two brothers in Ohio is a resounding “yes”.
The brothers [Tom and Joe McDaniel] have sued Dan Ullman, claiming the relentless yapping of his dogs has created anxiety and compromised their standard of living. They are seeking more than $25,000 in damages.
Although the dogs are in a fenced yard the McDaniels claim their neighbor won’t control the barking. They were supposed to go to trial last week, it has been delayed in hopes that there can be an out of court resolution.
We’ll have to keep an eye on this case for the final outcome. Would you sue your neighbor over barking, or do you think it’s something you just have to live with? Give me a bark.
