Dog races

One friend in Skypeland works on weekends at a dog race track run by her grandmother. It is not like the dog tracks in the US, where things are very competitive and dogs are treated cruelly. Any dog can run at her grandmother's track, even old dogs. They chase a sock with a "squawker" in it, around and around. Some dogs get smart and cheat, and run to the finish line by taking a short cut so they can get the sock first. Once in a while dogs strain their muscles and need to have massages and pain killers. It sounds like fun.
