We are devastated to announce the unexpected loss of Dawnâs beloved brown boy, Velo.
For almost his entire career, Velo was the fastest dog on our team, with a recorded PB of 3.566. He helped our clubs win multiple regional championships. He loved his mama and raced best for her, but would also run for his favorite flyball âauntieâ when necessary. He helped to train so many of our new dogs to play the game, from recalls with puppies to head-to-head and passing.
Velo was also an accomplished agility and nosework competitor. He was Marin Humane Behavior & Trainingâs social ambassador as well, demonstrating his skills and making friends at a variety of MH events.
After he retired last year due to an injury, we were all so happy whenever he stopped by practice for a visit. Weâll miss seeing him mosey around during set-up, schmoozing for petting and ball tosses. Weâll miss his sweet, funny, quirky personality, the pouting when you didnât pay him proper attention, that mischievous look in his eye right before he booped you in the face, and his utter joy when you offered him a good butt scratch.
Run free, sweet boy, and catch all the balls, frisbees, and bunnies your heart desires.
