A Bark to Remember.

Ever been woken up by your dog in the middle of the night? Try waking up to Daz, a German Shepherd whose woof is as loud as a chainsaw. The four-year-old dog from Essex, England has just set the first Guinness World Record for the loudest bark in the world.

The pup's triumphant woof of 108 decibels crowned him the champion at a Disney event to promote the DVD release of Bolt, a movie about a dog who thinks he has superpowers.

While Daz might not have magical paws, the noisy world champion is amazingly lovable and unaggressive.

Daz's proud owner Peter Lucken owes the victory to their postwoman -- the main recipient of the dog's barks. "Without having someone for her to bark at, I don't think he would have got the record," Lucken told the BBC Magazine.

Daz's next door neighbor, Denise Parker says the pooch doesn't bark often, but when he does, he roars. "I hear him sometimes when I'm watching television, but he only barks when he hears someone and he's trying to warn them away," said Parker.

Lucken never even realized his dog's bark was so powerful. "To me his barking is just normal, run-of-the-mill dog barking," he said.

Congratulations, Daz! We hope you continue to be loud and proud.

OH PLEASE! LOUDEST BARK MY ASS. ALL THEM GERMAN SHEPARDS HAVE A VERY ANNOYING HIGH PITCH BARK AND CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG. I HAVE A 5 YR. OLD AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THEM STUPID BARK COLLARS I'VE GONE THRU TO SHUT HIM UP. HE'LL KEEP BARKING TILL IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S BEING RAPED OR SOMETHING. I HATE IT. THAT'S WHY HE STAYS OUTSIDE. THOSE SMALLER DOGS HAVE HIGH PITCH LITTLE BARKS THAT ARE JUST ANNOYING. GUESS THAT'S WHY I LOVE MY CAT SO MUCH MORE. CATS RULE...DOGS JUST DROOL AND EAT THEIR OWN CRAP ALL DAY LONG.
