“Echo,” a three-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd, practices some agility with owner and trainer, Katie Baker of Christiansburg who started her own business, “the K9Mind” after working as a trainer at Pet Smart. They had competed in the weekend Star City K-9 Agility event and were hanging out in the grass at Green Hill Park on Sunday. Baker said Echo did well in competition until she ran out of the ring in the last event. (Stephanie Klein-Davis/The Roanoke Times)
