The Boston Terrier flattened after the handler fell to the ground when attempting a fierce agility round at the famous Westminster dog show.
Ripple was doing a light course job on Saturday in Tarrytown, upstate New York. At that time, her trainer and owner Dan Hadi lost her leg, missed her cute pet and collapsed.
Ripple stopped for a moment, perhaps to make sure her owner was okay.
But she was ready to go again as soon as he got up and completed the course in style.
“I’m very excited to see Ripple,” said the commentator at the beginning of the video released by Fox Sports. “I was very impressed to see Ripple running today.”
Ripple, who was at the 145th Dog Show last weekend, can be seen in a video gracefully running through the course before the owner’s trip interrupts her run.
As others say, the commentator shouts, “Oh, my goodness.” “It was too bad,” before the first commentator said.

However, Hadi from Anderson, South Carolina, quickly stood up and regained his composure before the Boston Terrier continued to run.
“This runout is over,” says the commentator. “I heard the crowd cheering for them.”
At the end of the video, Hadi scoops up Ripple and kisses her cheeks, panting with a big open-mouthed smile.
Border Collie, called the verb, eventually won the agility round, but Ripple and Hadi were undoubtedly the stars of the show and received the most media coverage.
The Westminster Kennel Club typically hosts a dog show at Madison Square Garden in February, but due to coronavirus pandemic restrictions, it is the first in 145-year history to be held outdoors 28 miles north of Tallytown. I did.
Prior to the event, Ripple sunbathing in 70-degree weather and stretched over soft grass on the lawn of the Gothic Lindhurst mansion in Tarrytown, NY, where the show took place.
“I really didn’t want to expose her to the city in the winter of New York,” Hadi told The Associated Press. “June, here on a day like this-yes, this is beautiful.”
With so many dog shows canceled in the last 15 months, there was even more competition among dogs hoping to win the spot at the Westminster dog show.
More than 300 dogs of various breeds, such as Chihuahuas and Rottweilers, participated in the Agility Championship and participated in a border collie called Verb.
She and her handler, Perry Dewitt, in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, brought back their second championship just three days before the dog’s eighth birthday. This also won in 2019.
