Record-Breaking Pets

Your once-tiny puppy may now need a large dog door, and your fabulous feline’s weight may mean a large cat door is in his future—but is being big the only way to get in the record books? These world record pets don’t think so.

Norman the Scooter Dog

In 2013, a little French sheepdog broke the world record for fastest 30 meters on a scooter. Yes, we said a scooter! It only took Marietta, Georgia native Norman 20.77 seconds to reach his victory, which blew the old record out of the water by around 9 seconds.

Smokey the Purrmaster

Arnold may be the Terminator, but the Purrmaster is definitely Smokey the cat, whose purr is loud enough to beat the sound of a kitchen appliance. Smokey’s 67.7-decibel purr is louder than the average 40 decibels likely emitted by the refrigerator in his Northampton, U.K. home.

Rasputin’s Mystical Horns

9-year-old Rasputin holds the record for the world’s largest horn spread for a living goat. You don’t have to ask this Austrian Walliser black-necked goat which way the wind blows; just hang the wash on his 53.23 inches of fancy headgear, and you will find out.

Yes, She Can

Can you balance a can on your head? Illinois’s Sweet Pea the dog can! This feat got her in the record books when she walked 100 meters in just 2 minutes and 55 seconds. However, cans aren’t the only thing she can balance; Sweet Pea also holds the record for most forward steps walked with a 5-oz glass of water on her head.

Didga See That Cat?

Didgeridoo—called “Didga” by her South Wales, Australia owner—is a skateboarding wonder. Her claim to fame? No fewer than 20 tricks, including jumping over a bar and rolling over—while on a skateboard, no less. Who said you can’t train a cat?

Even though they aren’t in the Guinness Book of World Records, your pet is still super special to you, and any super special pet and owner deserve a lockable pet door. Australia Pet Doors are super-affordable; get yours by calling 0414-922-751.
