Elképesztő! Repülő kutyák!

Ez az új, kutyaugrató sport már Európában is hódít. Továbbá: idiómák a kutyával kapcsolatban.

The competitors fly through the air with the greatest of ease before landing with a belly-flop in the water. And they never stop wagging their tails. Introducing the long jump for dogs - a sport which has been popular in the U.S. for years and is now gaining place in Britain.

The event usually involves the animal's owner tossing a toy or tennis ball over a large pool of water. The dog runs up a 30ft ramp and launches itself into the air in the hope of catching it. Whichever pet jumps the farthest wins the prize.

Last year up to 700 dogs at a time entered six 'Dash 'n' Splash' contests held across southern England, and more events are planned for this summer. Organiser Anton Wittwer said: 'There is a lot of noise and kids love to sit right next to the pool because they get wet. Cross breeds which have a retriever instinct and longer legs tend to make the best jumpers. The only thing that can go wrong is the dog changing its mind at the last moment and just falling in rather than jumping.'
