2008 Olympics |
| The Olympics games can be traced back to the year 776 B.C. in the city of Olympia in Greece. They continued for more than a thousand years until the Emperor Theodosius ordered that they be stopped. They didn't start up again until 1924. Now, we celebrate the summer or winter Olympic games every two years. At the Olympics, athletes from all over the world come together in peace to participate in a variety of sports. |
|
The young people that compete in the Olympics are very healthy. They have worked hard for many years to compete against other athletes. There are no Olympics for dogs, but they do have opportunities to compete in sports. Participating in these sports can be fun for your dog and will also keep him healthy. On this page we will celebrate, in photos, a few of the active sports in which dogs can participate.
