Charlie and Gilly: A perfect pair
St. James Elementary fourth grade student, Charlie Campbell, loves playing with his dog, Gilly. But when Charlie and his chocolate lab played together recently, they took home a prize!
“From 1-10, it was a 10 out of 10 of fun,” Charlie exclaimed.
Charlie and Gilly recently earned 3rd place of all junior handlers in the International Dog Sports Dock Diving Championship held in Mount Airy, MD. Dock diving is a fun sport which consists of a dock and a pool. Teams are made up of a handler, who signals the dog to go and throws the toy, a holder, who holds the dog on the dock, and a dog, who chases the toy into the pool. The distance the dog jumps into the pool is measured and points are awarded for how far the dog jumps.
Charlie was the “handler” and he spoke to us about his accomplishments!
