The phrase ‘it’s a dog’s life’ normally implies something negative. But that’s certainly not so for a small pack of dogs spotted on Brigg Recreation Ground yesterday afternoon.
The people with them had marked out a small course, near where the old grass tennis courts used to be, and the dogs were having a great time racing round it, in short sprints. There must be a name for this sort of sport, which wasn’t dog racing as we know the term.
Later, dogs and owners cleared away the course markers, loaded the dogs into a van and made their way home. No mess and no trace they’d been there, enjoying some good autumn weather.
It should be stressed this wasn’t on the actual recreation area, where the football pitches are marked out. So no harm done, and no need for anyone at the council to get hot under the collar. Just a good use of some spare land meant for recreation.
