Summer may be winding down for the rest of us, but just last weekend the 2nd Annual Loews
Coronado Bay Resort Surf Dog Competition was held in Imperial Beach, California!
The annual charity event had over 40 entries and featured two divisions for surfing dogs and their owners. In this, their second year, a total of 47 brave four-legged competitors registered for the event and Imperial Beach Lifeguards estimated that more than 1,000 people gathered to see Spot surf!
Proceeds are still being counted and will benefit Loews Coronado Bay Resort’s Good Neighbor Council, a group of employees who organized the competition to raise money for the resort’s Good Neighbor Partners, including Modest Needs and PAWS of Coronado.
Here are the competition results:
Heat One: Surf Dogs
1st Place: Toby, a Shih Tzu mix (and rescue dog)
2nd Place: Stoli, a Black Lab
