the record for loudest bark in history. More than 50 dogs participated and a representative from Guinness World Records was on hand to oversee the contest. A white American Shepherd dog, who was handpicked due to his striking resemblance to Bolt, broke the record with 108 decibels and became a Guinness World Record holder. Disney's Gavin Quirk was quoted saying: "The Big Bolt Bark has brought pride to the nation." Since 2009, the Bolt character has been spotted semi-regularly at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
