DOG/MAN Dive Team Loses Chance to Medal

Beijing, China
August 2008

"We did our best," says KO, "but it just wasn't enough."













Leo the dog and KO, his owner, blew their chances of receiving a medal after a dismal performance at the Man/Dog Olympics.

"Our first few jumps were clean," says the owner. "But Leo blew it on our last jump."


The last jump was a disastrous vertical dive by Leo - an 11 month lab. But fans argue that KO's first jump put the team's medal standing in question after his unusual style that KO refers to as his "Freebird" dive. Judges, however, were not impressed with his form and the Man/Dog team of KO and Leo blew their only hope of an Olympic Man/Dog medal.

Leo was unable to comment.

Looks like fun! Leo has really gotten into the swim of things! (sorry for the pun) ELEVEN MONTHS? Has time really gone so fast? He was just a baby last week, wasn't he?

Well, Ozzie is going to give him some serious competition - although Oz has a tendency to dive right on top of his partner...
