That's a lot of black and white!

If you're a dog lover, like all good people are, then relaxing in a park full of hundreds of dogs may sound like your idea of heaven.
Well that is exactly what happened when one mega-pack of dogs attempted to break a world record in a park in Adelaide, Australia, on 24th September.
576 border collies joined forces and it was certainly a sight to behold...
The black and white dogs were grouped in Willaston Oval to try to beat the unofficial world record of the most border collies gathered in one place. The collies were all let off their leads and can be seen sitting, standing, playing and wagging in online posts.
The event was organised by the Border Collie Owners of South Australia as an attempt to beat the 2013 record of 534 border collies in one location. So the 576 pooches here broke the world record - though the Guinness Book of Records doesn't acknowledge it as official due to the fact they do not accept breed-specific world record attempts.
The world record event also involved games for the dogs, activities, and food for owners and their furry friends. $6,000 (£3,525) was raised on the day and will go to dog charities Scruffer Lovers, Guardian Angel, and SA Dog Rescue.
Take a look at a video of the event below:
