“The win is in the connection between human and animal, regardless of when it happens. For every time it does it is truly a magical moment and the rest of the world slips away. The result no longer matters and instead it is replaced with the true joy felt from knowing that you are exactly where you need to be. In this moment, dog and handler move as one: two entities of the same mind and heart. There is no thought, just trust and connection. These are the moments we strive for and the highlights that define our sport more than a ribbon or medal ever could. By staring at the future we turn a blind eye to the most important part of the journey; the present."
