Seoul to host 'Petlympic' for dogs and owners

The second edition of Seoul Petlympic -- a two-day sports festival for dogs and their owners -- will open on Oct. 24 at Peace Plaza in Mapo-gu, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on Friday. Four events will be open to dogs with basic training: staying in place, running to their owners when called, weaving through cones and completing a 15-meter sprint alongside their owners. The competitions will be divided into two weight classes, with up to 100 participants accepted for each event
