Dogs compete in dock diving — jumping and swimming — at Peconic event

This Saturday and Sunday, May 20-21, dozens of dogs from across the Island are expected to compete at the first North Fork Dock Diving Weekend. Pitbulls, golden retrievers and other water-loving breeds will be diving off a dock into a 20-by-40-foot pool in three events that test their ability to jump far, high and swim to retrieve a toy.
