Even though, this isn't the Year of the Dog, but a new world record for the biggest dog-yoga class was set in Hong Kong on Sunday. And 270 dog-and-owner pairs participated. It's called "doga" and led by doga-teacher, Suzette Ackerman.
For over half an hour, the participants massaged, twisted, and stretched their furry friends in a series of poses. "Doga" is hailed as a great way to bond and relax with your pets, especially amid big-city pressures. Owners said they were honored to be part of a new world record attempt and want to continue their "doga" disciplines.
As for the dogs, it's a great opportunity to hang out with other members of the species. The record-breaking attempt has yet to be confirmed by Guinness World Records, but organizers are confident they have satisfied the requirements. The previous record was set in San Diego about a year ago with 265 dog-and-owner pairs. All proceeds from the Hong Kong event are going to the Hong Kong Guide Dog Association.
