PORTLAND—Things got hairy for the Shih Tzus this week at Argay Park as they were trounced by the Corgis 42—12.
Things were close until human thrower Jeffery pulled the “phantom throw,” a classic ploy of pretending to throw, but actually hiding the ball behind your back.
“It just disappeared into thin air,” recalled embarrassed Shih Tzu coach Chuckles. “We looked back at Jeffery, who seemed just as shocked as us.”
But the move did little to fool the Corgis, who had studied such maneuvers in game footage earlier that week. “We’re young dogs, and this is an old trick,” boasted Corgi coach Rags. The Corgis caught the follow-up toss in the opposite direction and began digging a hole for the Shih Tzus, both figuratively and literally.
Play was stopped for several minutes when a squirrel ran across the field.
