Not everything is bleak in crypto! Blockchain entity BONK and Korean K9 Rescue (KK9R) have seen ten dogs adopted after setting the new GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the “Most Dogs Walked Simultaneously by an Individual.”

A BONK core contributor completed the record on September 5 at Jungwon University during Korean Blockchain Week.

He walked together with 38 rescued dogs, breaking the previous record of 36 dogs from 6 years ago.

All pups were rescued locally in South Korea from mistreatment, neglect, and abuse.

New York-based Korean K9 Rescue is an animal rescue and rehabilitation organization. They joined hands with the meme coin project BONK to raise awareness about the adoption of rescued dogs from the organization’s Seoul arm.

Furthermore, the partners wanted to spread the global message of increasing animal protection.

Since last week, ten precious dogs have been adopted.

Four dogs have met their new families, and six are en route to the US.

Notably, the funds raised during the record-breaking event helped the adoption process.

According to the website,

“These record-breaking dogs are not only champions on the field but also loving companions waiting for their forever homes. Each one of them has demonstrated immense bravery and resilience, and now, they are ready to bring joy and love into your life.”

The participating and now adoptable dogs can be found here.

Making Meaningful Difference

The event wasn’t just about the numbers, the announcement said.

“The mission was clear: to amplify awareness about the importance of dog adoption and highlight the tireless efforts of Korea K9 Rescue in finding loving homes for dogs in need.”

BONK and Korean K9 Rescue’s goals were to “shift perceptions ” and challenge “the outdated stigmas” surrounding dog culture in South Korea.

At the same time, they brought together crypto enthusiasts, animal lovers, and the local community to “shine a light on the compassionate and inclusive spirit that BONK is all about.”

Additionally, BONK hosted activities throughout Korea Blockchain Week. The goal was to engage the community, foster meaningful connections, and bring attention to animal welfare.

This way, the project advanced its mission to build a strong blockchain community and contribute to the real world in a positive, constructive manner.

“In a space where everyone is trying to outdo each other with grand parties and exclusive events, we did what we do best: putting our community and values first,” said Kadense Pengu, a BONK core contributor.

“We’re thrilled to be using our platform to make a meaningful difference while also having fun and breaking a record in the process,” Pengu added.
