St. Mark's Elementary Students Enjoy Dog Show

No matter a dog's background or upbringing, any dog has the ability to be truly incredible.

Last Wednesday was no ordinary day for St. Mark’s Elementary students in Eureka. Purina Farms and the Pro Plan Performance Team hosted an action-packed canine show at the school. The traveling show included 7-8 talented dogs showcasing freestyle flying disc demonstrations, agility performances and more.

Most of the dogs featured in the shows are rescues, proving that no matter a dog's background or upbringing any dog has the ability to be truly incredible with good nutrition, proper training and lots of love.

Students watched in awe as dogs of many different breeds leapt into the air to catch a flying disc, ran down a ramp and maneuvered through a series of jumps and obstacles in an agility course.
