Dog enthusiasts are now getting more involved in dog competitions. Currently, the most popular competition for dogs is the agility competition, and many dog lovers flock to watch the competition happen.
Those who join these events should be competitive. For some dog owners, though, it is not necessarily the victory that matters, but rather the effort of their dog.
There are undoubtedly owners that are competitive and desire victory for their dogs. But, some are already pleased just to see their pets competing. Baron Kratu Von Bearbum, also known as Kratu, is one of the competing dogs and his owner is already proud that the dog is already part of the event.
The dog from England tried his luck once more in the dog agility competition. In past years, he has tried his luck but to no avail.
Even though he has never won a competition in the past, the dog does not mind at all. What is most important to him is making others happy. And he appreciates the attention he receives for his humorous deeds.
You might ask why the audience like Kratu so much. This is because the dog does not play by the rules of the game. He deviates from the technicalities and follows his own path.
At one instance of the competition, Kratu made a number of illegal U-turns inside the tunnel. Similarly, he avoided any obstacles that arose, eliciting laughs from the audience.
Tessa Eagle Swan, Kratu’s owner and trainer, is not frightened by her dog’s behavior. Throughout the race, Swan is a tremendous supporter of Kratu. Even as she was attempting to refocus the dog, she remained composed.
The competition is one of their bonding sessions for Swan. As Kratu enjoys being in the spotlight, she supports the race. Swan believes that victory is no longer the objective. What is most important to her is seeing her dog happy.
