Guinness World Records has confirmed an amazing new record for Sailor the poodle, who has achieved the brand new title Fastest 10m on a walking globe by a dog in an incredible 33.22 seconds at Hawthorn Middle School South in Vernon Hills, Illinois, USA. On the day, Sailor also achieved another amazing record title which we'll be revealing soon here on guinnessworldrecords.com
Sailor’s owner, Alex Rothacker rescued him when he was just six months old, after a vet told him that the pup was aggressive and going to be put down. After adopting Sailor, the experienced dog trainer started teaching him a variety of tricks and balancing stunts.
According to Rothacker, when Sailor hears people laugh he gets excited because “he knows he’s making people happy."
“The greatest thing in life is making people happy and performing and making people laugh... And that’s what Sailor does.”
