Molly
ran a few feet, got distracted,
turned
around, and headed back.Higgins zoomed to the finish line.
Almost
200 hundred dogs
with
owners in tow,were out in Baldwin Park
for the fifth annual race.
Doggie
Derby pits golden retrievers
against
border collies, French bulldogs against Boston terriers,
Pugs against dachshunds.
In
a bracket style tournament;
dogs
go head-to-head in a 25 yard race.Winning dogs advance to the next round,
losing dogs watch from the sidelines.
Most races last only
a few seconds as dogs—
tongues hanging out—
sprint to the finish line.
In
this year’s Doggie Derby,
a
black Labrador retriever named Caseywas named grand champion.
