World-class canine athletes compete at Carolina DockDogs charity event

I got to spend three days photographing the Carolina DockDogs during practice as well as competition at Indian Creek K9 Aquatics in Goldston, NC. Carolina DockDogs is a sanctioned affiliate club of DockDogs World Wide. Dock jumping, also known as dock diving is a sport in which dogs compete in jumping for distance or height from a dock into a body of water with competitions that include Big Air, Speed Retrieve, Extreme Vertical & Iron Dog. Their Annual Bark at Noah's Ark benefit a National Qualifier in Dock jumping and is the largest dock diving event in the world with over 1400 entrants and more than 400 dogs competing from all over the world. The event is a charity fundraiser raising over $60,000 for Bark at Noah's Ark.
