Inspired by the famous Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Competition that made Japanese national Takeru Kobayashi a household name, Bryson and Picasso decided to elevate the sport of competitive eating to a next level... and thus born the 1st Annual Bully Stick Eating Competition!
For those of you non-dog owners who don't know what "bully sticks" are, read this.
Yes, it's gross. But dogs LOVE it. Plus it's purportedly much healthier than raw hide bones since these are completely digestible. And they take non-stop jaw action to consume even just a few inches, providing your doggies endless hours of entertainment. Bryson and Picasso couldn't find a challenge more suitable for this contest.
Here're some snapshots from their inaugural contest:
Bryson using the time-honored "2-hand" technique favored by corgis, but Picasso is gaining ground rapidly with the trademark "No-hand" technique he specializes in
Picasso continues to go strong, while Bryson switches to the more mechanically-correct "Cantilever" technique, but he's falling significantly behind...
Bryson decides it's time to go ALL out
After hours of intense competition that lasted from day to night, both contestants took a much-needed post-game nap
