Dogs Of War – Alpha Dog Trials
The Dogs Of War thought it would be a good idea to hold a session to determine who is the overall Alpha Dog across multiple disciplines. Push-ups, medicine ball throws, jumps and sprints all featured in this competition.
Dogs in attendance:
- Richie Bray
- Mick Davies
- Dylan Foo
- Paul Hart (Ram)
- Mark Power (me)
- Mick Thomas
- Leo Thompson
There is some contention as to who came out as Alpha Dog but all agreed it was a fun session and proved that we had come some way as Dogs over the previous years of DoW training.
