Thousands of dog lovers recently got together in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a golden retriever gathering. The fun and furry event broke a Guinness World Record. And everyone had a tail-wagging good time.

Buenos Aires’ Bosques de Palermo park had a total of 2,397 golden retrievers gathered there on Dec. 8. The previous record was set in Vancouver, Canada, last year, where 1,685 golden retrievers gathered in the same place.

Gentle and Playful pups

"Since we were children, she's been a constant presence in our family. We've had vacations with her. We've done everything together," Nicolás Orellana said about his 13-year-old retriever, Luna. "[The golden retriever] is a type of dog that's known to create a special bond."

Many of the dogs wore costumes, such as Santa hats or jerseys, and owners mingled and took photos.
