pugs

At an unheralded event in Massachusetts, two pugs have narrowly broken the world record for the top speed of a land vehicle.

The previous record, held for 18 years by a British Airforce pilot, was surpassed early Tuesday morning by Mowgli, a Boston pug who’s homemade racer topped out at 763.041 miles per hour (squeaking past the record of 763.035 mph).

“This is a huge day, not just for the record, but for the entire canine racing community,” says Ross Glover, a spokesperson for the dogs.

Mowgli’s engineering partner Penelope will also share the spoils of the record, which include a substantial cash prize, in addition to being recorded in the history books.

Yoshi started eating healthy back in April, knowing he had a long way to go before his bikini would fit again.

“He really made the commitment,” says Ashley Khoningberg, a longtime friend. “He set weekly goals, made a spreadsheet – the works.”

But all of it could be undone just in time for beach season by one oblivious roommate.

“Kevin doesn’t even realize what he’s doing,” Khoningberg explains. “Yoshi’s trying so hard to avoid temptation, and there’s Kevin scarfing pizza in the living room, watching anime on Netflix. The smell alone is driving the poor pug crazy.”

According to sources, Yoshi’s put back a few pounds by partaking in Kevin’s snacks, but he hasn’t given up.

“It’s only June,” says Khoningberg. “And I plan on having a little talk with Kevin.”
