On your bark, get set, go!
Hundreds of pint-sized competitors and their human companions came together Saturday to celebrate the word's tiniest breed of dog during five regional PETCO Unleashed Chihuahua races.
Races were held in Orlando, Houston, Phoenix, Sacramento and Orange County. Ten more regional championships will be held over the next two weekends nationwide.
Featherweight competitors sprinted - or strolled - down a 1/18th furlong (35-foot-long) race track in front of cheering spectators and five fierce racers prevailed: Brownie in Orlando, Piccolo in Houston, Isabelle in Sacramento, Kahlua in Phoenix and Mijo in Orange County.
The regional champions will head to San Diego to battle it out in front of cheering crowds between innings of a major league baseball game at PETCO Park, home to the San Diego Padres, on Aug. 31.
Only one will triumph to win the coveted title of America's Fastest Chihuahua, a trophy, a $300 PETCO gift card and a year's supply of Royal Canin Chihuahua food - approximately 12 times the average Chihuahua's weight.
