 California
is famous for its nice weather and beautiful beaches. Many people
go there to enjoy surfing. Even dogs enjoy surfing in California!
There is even a surfing contest for dogs. On May
22, many dog surfers gathered in San Diego to
participate in the dog surfing
competition.
The surfing competition for dogs started five years ago. The event
is getting more popular and the dog surfers are gaining a lot of attention.
Many of the dogs even have websites and Facebook fan pages!
This year, 65 dogs from all across America participated in the event.
The competition was held at a beach in San Diego, a beautiful city
in California. The dogs were divided into weight classes: small dogs
(18 kilograms or less) and large dogs (19 kilograms or more). The
doggy surfers were judged on the length of their ride, confidence, and overall ability.
 So, who
is this year’s winner? A four-year-old rescue dog named Abbie won
the competition! “I decided to teach her how to surf to make her legs
stronger. Abbie trusted me and enjoyed learning to surf,” said her
owner Michael Uy. “She and I have a special bond.”
It costs between $50 and $55
to register a dog for the competition,
but watching the event is free. Each year’s proceeds go to charity. If you have a chance
to visit San Diego, don’t miss the fun event! |
