Barking for the World's Record and Local Fundraisers

This past Saturday, over 100 dogs gathered in a local park in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Their purpose was to raise funds for the LaCrosse Humane Society and set the world's record for the loudest bark. Interesting idea, I think. They accomplished their goal. To read the full story in The LaCrosse Tribune click HERE.
