Coolidge Park is going to the dogs this week.
Specifically, it’s going to the Hyperflite Skyhoundz World Canine Disc Championship, an event in its sixth year in Chattanooga.
If the name sounds foreign, think Frisbee dogs, flying dogs or disc-catching dogs.
Some 200 of them, in a variety of big, little and in-between mixed breeds and pure breeds, will be vying for 17 world championships.
