ENGLEWOOD — Nearly a dozen world-class athletes
descended on Oyster Creek Paw Park at Ann Dever Memorial Regional Park in Englewood Saturday for the Fourth Annual Disc Dog Tournament & Pet Expo.
Several dogs brought their people to watch the competition, and even the occasional cheer, or perhaps jeer, from the canine onlookers couldn’t break the concentration of the participants as they chased down, and sometimes waited for the plastic disc to come their way.
