Watch: Dog rescued from rubble 30 hours after deadly earthquake hit China

<p>Hundreds of golden retrievers assembled at the Scottish Highlands from July 10-14 to celebrate the 155th anniversary of the breed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Golden Retriever Club of Scotland organised a four-day anniversary event at the ruins of Guisachan House, the dog breed's place of birth. The event had&nbsp;talks, training workshops, a picnic and a night-time procession, reported BBC News.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nearly 500 golden retrievers and their owners attended the gathering. The golden retrievers were from 12 countries, including Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, the Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, Estonia, and Japan. The games and activities included haggis hurling, tug of war, and scurry. As per The Telegraph, the number of golden retrievers in attendance was 466.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The gathering at Guisachan House happens every five years. The first official gathering occurred in 2006, and the second was in 2013.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, the dogs assembled for a mile-long parade from Kennel Field to Guisachan House. The owners and dogs delivered a toast to the breed's founding father, Lord Tweedmouth.</p>

<p>According to the official website of the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, Sir Dudley Marjoribanks (Lord Tweedmouth) first bred the dog at Guisachan, Glen Affric, near Inverness, in 1964.
