buddy and he has proved this many a times. The other day, I was late and

was on my way back home from work. While crossing the dense forest

very high too.” As Swifty jumped and trotted around, everyone praised

him and clapped. Then, one of the judges spoke on the microphone.
“Friends, it has been a wonderful day! I congratulate the pet owners and

appreciate their pets. They have extraordinary abilities and skills. Each
pet is as good as the other. So, every pet will be given a medal and their

owners will be awarded trophies. I thank you all for being here today,
especially the owners. Let’s all remind ourselves that we always need to be

kind and caring to animals. Now, let’s all have some coffee and snacks”
