MADAM, Soi Dog Foundation, Thailand's leading dog and cat welfare charity, announced today the launch of an attempt to break the current Guinness World Record for 'Most dogs in one place wearing a bandana', to be held on grounds surrounding the Hope and Anchor Inn, Ross-on-Wye, on Saturday 27th June. The fun day out will start at 10.30am with the record attempt scheduled for 1pm. This is purely being staged as part of a fun, family day out in the countryside. We'll have lots of activities for the kids, as well as pub food, bric a brac, bottle stalls, tea room, healthy living stall, face painting, dog boutique, dog shows, dog agility demonstrations, a luxury raffle with first prize as a trip to Thailand, and lots more for all the family. We encourage everyone in the vicinity of Ross-on-Wye to come along, and bring your adult dog or dogs with you, for a day you'll never forget. The current Guinness World Record for most dogs in one place wearing a bandana stands at 764, and Ms Van De Ven is hoping to break this by attracting 800 adult dogs and their owners to the event. Anyone in the area with an adult dog can come along, have a great day out, and be a Guinness World Record holder by the time they get home! Admission is £1, but it's free to participate in the record attempt. All we require is that if you want to take part, you will need to register on arrival, pick up your free dog bandana (free to the first 500 dogs entering), have your dog verified as an adult, and briefly checked by a vet to ensure your pet is in good health. That's it! Anyone with specific information requests concerning the event can email: [email protected]">[email protected] Ms Van De Ven hopes that the event will also raise awareness of the Soi Dog Foundation charity in Thailand, which cares for homeless dogs and cats in Phuket and Bangkok by offering sterilisation and vaccination programmes, emergency medical treatment for sick and injured street animals, and an adoptions programme. Soi Dog Foundation is also leading the fight against Thailand's illegal dog meat trade, and just recently started a campaign in Vietnam to try and end the dog meat trade there as well.
