BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Dog lovers gathered Monday in Argentina’s Buenos Aires to try to set a world record for the most golden retrievers assembled in a park.
More than 2,000 dogs flocked to the park in Palermo, according to organizer Fausto Duperré. The record to beat was 1,685.
Maximiliano Rivero headed to the park with his dog Manola to join other golden retriever enthusiasts. Manola gave his owner a big kiss, surrounded by a sea of golden fur of different shades.
