Last weekend Pirkko made one of her dreams come true when she attended to the Finnish Championships of para-agility with Keeshond Saida. This was a very special thing for Pirkko because she has been fighting against an aggressive cancer during the last couple of years and has been feeling quite ill lately. She was nervous about whether she would be able to take part in the competition up until the last minutes.

Pirkko has a big team of supporters, or you could actually say fans, that has been helping her to achieve her goal. Many of Pirkko's friends where there to share the excitement when she stepped on the competition arena with Saida. Pirkko and Saida did two beautiful, flowing runs and ended up winning the Finnish Championship in category 5 ! See a video of the competition runs of Pirkko and Saida!

OneMind Dogs wants to congratulate all the medalists of the para-agility Championships, as well as the Junior and Senior medalists who also had their Finnish Championships last weekend!
