Dogs in action

What a great weekend for sports. Besides all those basketball games, which left me with a wadded-up, tear-stained bracket thanks to Purdue, UConn and Duke, there were also athletes in action at Hollins University.

Until Sunday, I had only seen dog agility events on Animal Planet. A real event, like the one hosted by the Star City Canine Training Club this weekend, are truly amazing and, like most sports, so much better in person.

I apologize now to any contestants I may have distracted with flash photography (I hit a button quite by mistake.) And even without the cooperation of the sun or any visible talent as a photographer, I managed to snap a few nice shots. To see more, click here.
