296 dogs take over a Las Vegas water park and break a pool-party record
What happened
Doodlepalooza gathered 296 doodles and poodle mixes with their families at Cowabunga Canyon in Las Vegas on September 27. A Guinness World Records adjudicator counted the qualifying dogs and confirmed a new record for most dogs attending a dog pool party, surpassing the previous mark of 276 set in Florida in May. UPI reported the result on September 29.
Why it matters
The event was more than an unusually wet head count. It raised money and attention for Doodle Rescue USA, whose work includes veterinary care, grooming, foster placement, transport, behavior assessment and adoption. The record category is narrow and the event was controlled: shallow water areas, owners present and an on-site adjudicator. That does not make an ordinary pool safe for every dog without supervision, suitable entry points and attention to swimming ability.
The Blappos angle
Verified facts end above. The Blappos interpretation: 296 dogs entered the wave pool and every available towel immediately became a theoretical object. The magnet uses invented dogs and an original water-park scene—not event photography, sponsor branding, record marks or any specific pet's likeness.
