Dog's bark is as loud as a rock concert

Dog smashes Guinness World Record for loudest bark

Australia has become home to the world's loudest dog! Six-year-old golden retriever Charlie has broken the Guinness World Record for Loudest Bark by an Individual Dog.

The record-breaking bark was an astonishing 113.1 decibels, which is 42 times louder than everyday conversation, and the same volume as a rock concert!

The winning bark broke the previous record set in London in 2009 by a white German shepherd named Daz.

Charlie was the only record breaker at the organised record attempt - Purina Bark in the Park - which took place in Rymill Park, in Adelaide, Australia.

Over 6,687 dogs attended the event, which raised a total of AUD$12,913 (approx £8,900) for the Australian Animal Welfare League.

"We are completely astonished that our Charlie is the Loudest Dog in the World!" said his owner, Belinda Freebairn. "He's a very quiet and well-behaved dog at home and doesn't usually bark unless asked to.

"He's so loving and a great family pet…our neighbours honestly couldn't believe it when they heard that they lived next door to the 'World's Loudest Dog', as they have never heard him barking at home!

"We are all really excited about his record and couldn't be prouder of him!"
