Whippet becomes UK Dog Surfing Champ at record-breaking event

In the UK, a pair of mixed-breed dogs and their human guardians made headlines at the Dog Masters Festival on Sunday, held at a beach in Dorset.

Two teams broke a Guinness World Record with Matt Jenkins and his dog Gigi, alongside Benn Gray and Boo, breaking the 50-meter paddleboard sprint record in a time of 32 seconds.

The festival, hosted as part of the UK Dog Surfing Championships, featured paddleboarding, surfing displays, and world-record attempts.

Another World Dog Surfing Championships is set to take place in the San Francisco Bay area on August 2.
