Beverly Kitson and her dog competed in the mirror image on Sunday, June
5th, 2011. The mirror image category was set up to select the dog that
is most alike with it's owner. |

Nosara’s first annual dog show, “Go Dog Go,” provided an enjoyable if somewhat wet opportunity for residents to demonstrate that their pets are part of the local culture, friendly if a bit undisciplined.
The event was organized to raise money for Nosara Animal Care, which provides veterinary care and shelter for local animals. The rather whimsical categories of competition were designed to ensure that every dog had a chance to be a prizewinner.
While the competition at times was strong, what the participants may have lacked in discipline they made up in good humor. And the dogs all got along as well. The event raised just over $1000 and t-shirts are still available at the La Costa Rentals office.
The winners and their owners are:
Most obedient- Roxie / Jean Sholl
Least Obedient- Luna / Kathy and Tony Santeiro
Best trick-Jale / Kimberly Wegman
Waggiest Tale-MiMi / Marcel & Miriam Schaerer
Ugliest Dog- Puppydoo / Debbie Bishop
Prettiest Bitch- Lulu / Jodi Buehner
Mirror Image-Chaucer / Beverly Kitson
Dog with no legs-Frederica / Peter & Faith Burke
Best Costume-Bogo / Brenda Lee

Oldest - Rocky / Vicky Twyford
