Canine contest

Maddison Beauchamp holds Winston shortly after the canine won second place for shortest coat of fur during a community dog show on Saturday in Carl Miller Park. Dog enthusiasts gathered at the park in hopes of walking away with an assortment of prizes offered during the competition.

Tami Schoethaler runs her canine companion, Elly, through an obedience course to familiarize themselves with the commands the dog would later be required to complete before the judges.
