Dog Competition

On our way home after breakfast, my wife and I came across a dog competition.

It is our first time watching a live dog competition. There were small dog races and big dog races. There was also obedience competition.

The races were pretty boring as the distance covered was short. But the obedience competition was very interesting. Dog owners were trying to do last minute preparation to ensure their dogs were at their best. They were practicing commands like “Heel”, “Down”, “Stand” and “Stay” with the adorable canines. The dogs were very obedient. It was going to be a tough decision for the judges.

During the actual competition, however, only a few dogs were really flawlessly obedient. One particular dog, a Border Collie, and its owner were the center of attention. Not only did the collie not listen to the owner, it simply ignored the owner’s presence. When the owner gave the command “Come”, it ran past its owner into the crowd and played with other dogs. The owner had got nothing to say but left immediately, chasing after it.

We did not stay till the end of the competition as we were pretty tired waking up early.
