Bark in the Park is billed as the largest dog festival in the U.S., with over 15,000 dog lovers and 3,900 canines. Admission is $10 for human adults -- all others are free -- and proceeds go to charities including Humane Society Silicon Valley.
Diego, a whippet/border collie mix, runs at breakneck speed, jumping four barriers in a row, snatching a ball and triumphantly delivering it to his handler. He's practicing for a demonstration at Bark in the Park, a dogfest happening Saturday in downtown San Jose.
The event has been happening for 24 years, and while it's a good time, make no mistake: folks take it seriously. And then there's Diego, who has been training in flyball for two years, according to Alex Le of Redwood City, who owns the dog and the Fighting for Freedom Flyball Club. While some canine-related events, such as dog shows, have a bit of a snooty connotation, any dog can compete in flyball, said Le.
