Two talented dogs from Reading will feature in the latest edition of the Guinness World Records after breaking the records for some unusual talents.
Olga Jones, 45, from Reading, entered Bonnie and Simba for a world record after noticing their knack for the extraordinary.
The pooches boast the fastest time to complete 10 side leapfrog jumps by two dogs, doing so in 16.78 seconds.
Simba meanwhile holds the record for the most clothes hung on a washing line by a dog in one minute, with 17 items.
Bonnie and Simba are just some of the many that will take their place in the 2025 edition of the well-known record book.
The new edition includes 2,115 records following a year which saw tens of thousands of applicants try their luck.
Available from September 12, it marks the beginning of Guinness World Records’ 70th anniversary celebrations.
Among the record-breaking skippers, skateboarders and collectors is Ruth Amos, 34, and Shawn Brown, 33, from Sheffield, who run a YouTube channel called Kids Invent Stuff. They have created the unusually large toothbrush after a suggestion from 11-year-old fan George.
The world’s largest electric toothbrush, which measures 6ft 7in long (2.008 metres), took around five days to create.
Other featured records include the largest hands and feet on a teenager (Eric Kilburn Jr, USA, hands: 9.13in, feet: 13.50in) and the heaviest single repetition weighted pull up in a wheelchair (32.60kg) held by Adnan Almousa Alfermli from Syria.
Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief at Guinness World Records, said: “This new edition – fully revised and updated with 1,000-plus images – acknowledges our platinum anniversary while continuing the annual tradition of reporting on all of the latest record-breaking achievements.
“Over the past year, we’ve reviewed nearly 30,000 applications, and the result is a book packed with thousands of awesome facts and feats for the whole family to enjoy.”
