Puppy Brothers Declared Co-Champs of Fetch Tournament
Two French bulldog brothers refused to compete individually in this year’s German World Cup Fetch Tournament.
After referees determined there was indeed no rule against cooperative fetch, the brothers proceeded to dominate the competition.
“Eight legs are better than four when it comes to returning a stick as fast as possible,” says Arnold Wilhelm, sports writer for Der Spiegel. “These brothers were perfectly in sync.”
While the win is technically legal according to tournament bylaws, it’s not without controversy. The dogs who placed second and third are petitioning the National Fetch Board to reevaluate the rules of the tournament and disqualify cooperative play.
