Leaping Labrador

Few things are more enjoyable than to watch a dog run and jump. That's why we love taking him to dog parks, and making him jump through a hula hoop in our living room.
But even better than watching Diesel do those things is watching those pups trained for the job compete in Big Air competitions.
For instance, Heidi, a yellow labrador retriever and her 14-year-old owner Hannah Gordon are rated number one in the nation for junior handlers.
They'll be competing at the 2008 DockDogs National Championships an event involves dogs running and jumping off a dock for distance.
