This event with the Guinness Book Of World Records is never going to take place.
Firstly I would never put Mishka through all that stress.
Mishka does not talk in unfamiliar surroundings, in public places and most of all with strangers, surrounding him.
There is no ways a vet and a speech specialist would sit with us, not knowing how long it would take. (Not to mention the cost involved per hour)
