Tag: Very Good Dogs

Corgi racing — yes, corgi racing — was shown on ESPN to the delight of animal lovers everywhere

A bunch of very good dogs!

It’s the dog days of summer at ESPN. Yes, for real.

On Saturday, in the midst of a very chill afternoon with little sports content, ESPN surprised viewers with an unexpected treat. After airing MLS soccer in the afternoon, ESPN switched tracks completely and started airing corgi racing on their main channel.

The corgi race in question was the 2021 Corgi Races held at Emerald Downs in Auburn. Sadly, the race already happened back in July — and it’s not immediately clear if ESPN telegraphed this to their audience — but the event was a wonderful surprise even though it wasn’t live TV.

Here’s how the first race went down, with some top-notch commentary.

And here’s how the final race ended, with Angus taking home the top prize after holding off a late burst of speed from Chance.

Talk about a thrilling finish! Animal lovers everywhere were thrilled, perplexed, and amused at the proceedings on ESPN.

This very good dog was the star of new Vikings linebacker Chazz Surratt’s draft party

Chazz Surratt’s draft party celebrations included this very good dog!

We all love a good sports dog around here! In the midst of the 2021 NFL Draft, we finally got some top tier very good dog content during the Minnesota Vikings third round selection.

On Friday, the Vikings selected linebacker Chazz Surratt out of North Carolina with the No. 78 pick in the draft. As the camera panned to Surratt’s at-home draft party in North Carolina, we got a look at his family and friends celebrating as the pick was announced.

But, more importantly, we also got a great shot of this dog joining in on the celebrations and being the most adorable!

I love how the dog is clearly confused at first as to why everyone was standing and clapping, but they too eventually joined in with some enthusiastic barks.

Thankfully, someone was there to give this very good dog the love and attention they very much deserve. What a lovely moment.
