Catch Dog Events
These main bayings events are sometimes augmented with catch competitions, where "catch dogs" bite and hold the hogs' ears to maintain control, and then a human lifts the pig by rear legs and turns onto a side and hog-ties the pig. The event is timed, and the quickest time wins. The dogs are outfitted with kevlar chest and neck armor, and serious injury to either animal is rare.

Famous quotes containing the words catch, dog and/or events:
“Bless you, of course you’re keeping me from work,
But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
There’s work enough to do there’s always that;
But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do
Is set me back a little more behind.
I shan’t catch up in this world, anyway.
I’d rather you’d not go unless you must.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
And the musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new,
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.”
—Eugene Field (1850–1895)
““The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
