NEW YORK – In occasione della 138esima edizione dell’Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, a New York si è tenuto il primo campionato di Agility Dog. A vincere è stato Kelso, un border collie di 7 anni. Tra i 225 concorrenti è stato il più rapido a tuffarsi nei cerchi e a superare gli ostacoli del percorso.
La manifestazione è riservata a cani atleti: vedendo le immagini pubblicate dall’Ap però, i protagonisti dell’evento appaiono un po’ affaticati. Una medaglia però, gli organizzatori non l’hanno negata a nessuno (foto Ap):
