Off to the Races
This was a game we frequently played when Benjamin & Henry were puppies. The whole purpose of the game was to trick Benjamin & Henry into practicing their Sit, Stay & Come commands, but to do it in a fun way that allowed them to work off their puppy energy.
First the sit & stay while I move away.
Then the come command.
Looks like Benny was a little bit quicker out of the gates.
Almost up to full speed.
Still truckin'.
About halfway there and Benny has taken the lead.
Benny coming into the home stretch, completely blocking Henry from the frame.
Benny finishing strong. You can see his wrinkly skin flapping in the wind and his eyes are fixed on the prize - the treat.
Benjamin pretty much wins every race. He is technically the third fastest pug, Luna is a few steps quicker than him and Henry is just a smidge quicker than him, however, neither of them have the endurance that Benny has. He can run at full speed for hours.

Hooray! Nice photo series. Does one pug win more often? Is there just one treat, or treats for all? If I had to bet, I’d have lost my money on Henry. I’d have picked him just because my pug is a dark-faced Henry too. I’m not much better with horses, so it’s good that I don’t bet much.
