Flying High Dogs

These dogs do such amazing things
They get disbelieving looks
They catch frisbees, do great tricks
Okay, they don’t shelve books!

You’ve seen dogs do tricks on the ground, but these dogs do tricks while leaping in mid-air! One of them I think played for the Red Sox. You’ll definitely have a “ruff” time if you miss this show!
