DOCK DOGS

On Saturday morning after a Chron assignment up north, I headed out to Discovery Green (Houston’s new-ish park downtown) to check out the Dock Dogs event. It’s a nationwide competition where local dogs compete in a series of events such as longest jump, highest, etc. I saw some other images from similar events from colleagues in different cities that were nice, but I was a bit disappointed when I saw that the event was a little more low-key than I had envisioned. It was definitely entertaining to watch, but the shots were limited as there was very few clean angles. The worst factor was the Houston heat and humidity. High noon on a Saturday is brutal. I could feel my skin burning even with the 75 SPF sunscreen. Definitely lots of awesome dogs out, whether they were participating or just spectating.
