Hundutställningar var väl inget som åtminstone jag var speciellt intresserad av. Men både Sonya och jag själv tyckte mycket om djur. Så när vår afghanhund gick bort skaffade vi en stor Skotsk Hjorthunds hane från grannlandet Norge. Bagobo som var hans namn, var en fantastisk hund. Vi började visa honom på hundutställningar och det gick riktigt bra. Men trots allt började vi inse hur sjukt det var att tävla i skönhet, även om det bara var bland hundar!

Dog shows were not something that I was particularly interested in. But both Sonya and I were very fond of animals. So when our Afghan Hound passed away, we got a big male Scottish Deerhound from neighboring Norway. Bagobo, as he was called, was a fantastic dog. We started showing him at dog shows and he did really well. But after all, we started to realize how sick it was to compete in beauty, even if it was only among dogs!
