Splash Dogs
Another tedious drive through the southern California suburban boonies — but worth it for the exhilarating dog display at the end of the journey. This time it was seeing the Splash Dogs bring their benefit show to a Corona shopping mall. There weren’t as many high-performing dogs as Dock Diving Dogs usually have, but it was fun-filled for the very reason that any dog could try to dive off the two-foot high platform into the thirty-foot pool to retrieve its toy — even if this was a first time dive. Most all the newbie dogs were very keen to fetch their toys tossed into the pool, but many were not so eager jump off a platform to get it. They needed massive cajoling from wranglers and spectators to make the leap. (A few decided to skip the jump, hurrying off the dock to slip into the water via the exit ramp, then triumphantly swimming out to their toy.) But there were brilliant competitive jumpers among Labs, Golden Retrievers, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, a Belgian Malinois, a Pit Bull, and a Chihuhaua.
Fun was had by all, including a number of spectator dogs — some of whom howled to join the game.
