United StatesAt the annual World Dog Surfing Championships in Pacifica, California, dogs of various sizes participated in competitive surfing events, judged on their ability to stay on their boards, wave size, and confidence. The event, in its 10th year, featured a pet adoption fair and raised funds for local animal charities. Dogs wore colorful life vests and were assisted by human handlers who identified optimal waves. Spectators cheered enthusiastically as dogs performed, with some competing in tandem events. One participant, Sophia Sadlowski, recounted her experience with her Miniature Pinscher, Rusty, who began competing at four months old and has since become a regular surfer.
