UPI – A dog-loving Canadian set a new Guinness World Record by walking 38 dogs at once for more than half a mile.
Mitchell Rudy led the pack of leashed pups on a six-mile trek, breaking the previous record of 36 dogs, which was set in Goesan, South Korea.
The dogs for Rudy’s record-breaking attempt were from the Korean K9 Rescue shelter.
“All of these dogs, some of them are from the puppy mill industry, some of them are from former meat harvesting areas,” Rudy told Guinness World Record.
“These are dogs that have been rescued by KK9R but also other agencies inside of Korea.
There’s a lot of stigma around rescues. They’re great animals, they deserve a good home, they just need a little bit of love.”
Rudy said his record attempt was aimed at promoting dog adoption.
“We wanted to do something that made these dogs be the champions that they are,” he said. “These are good dogs, they deserve homes.”
