She hoped that I could be a therapy dog because I’m little, sweet, cute, and I know lots of tricks. But, that hasn’t happened because I’m still just a little too afraid of the world. Maybe it will happen someday for me, but in the meantime, I take agility classes for fun and entertainment. Unfortunately, I don’t bend through the weave poles like a border collie because I’m shaped like a pig. And I wouldn’t miss the weave pole entry on the first try if my teammate would just queue me correctly. Jeez, lady.
Here I am in my very first agility trial being sort of fast despite my pig-like physique. She seemed happy about the ribbons I won, but I didn’t really care. I’m a dog and I do it because it’s fun to run.

Well done, Audie! Not everyone can be a border collie. You're perfectly good at being you. And maybe once your lady figures out how to line you up for the weave poles correctly, you'll have the best piggy shimmy the agility world has ever seen.
What a great run!!!!!!!

Audie, good for you! It looks like you're having an amazing time!
You rock Audie! You dogs keep showing the world how great you are and what we all would have missed if you were not allowed to live. Thanks for enriching our lives and reminding us why dogs were always mans' best friend. We will keep on trying our best to stop dog fighting/animal abuse as much as we can. Any dog that can be saved from abuse is worth the effort. So happy for you Audie.
audie, that was a great run. i remember a time when you were being shamed in public with toddler pants and now look at you!
Audie, I think you are VERY brave to do that teeter/taughter thing! You are my hero!
that pic is beautiful. audie, you look so joyful and free!
I just found out that Leo, one of Vick's former victims, now a wonderful therapy dog, just recently died from a severe seizure disorder. Rest in peace sweet Leo. You will be greatly missed.
what a GREAT picture, I love it!
Audie that was amazing- I am going to go straight home and show this to my friend Owen the Bull Terrier. He, like you, hasn't grown into his awesomeness yet...
But it's coming.
He was a rescue and he's my very best friend, other than my tall human and his sister Miss Raven the AmStaff.
Thanks for being such an amazing dude!
Happy Holidays to you and your pets too!

What an awesome story! I would love to do a donation, discount, giveaway of some sort for these dogs of my pet portraits. Is there a way to do this? You can see my work at PetPortraitsbyBethany.com
