In a world where age is just a number, and pie is a universal language of love, Camp Golden Years Senior Dog Rescue in Tehachapi, California, became the epicenter of what can only be described as the “Great British Bark Off,” but with a twist that would make any pie enthusiast pause mid-bite. “We combined senior dogs, pie, and a dash of competition into a concoction so heartwarming it could melt the coldest of hearts,” said Rocky Kanaka, the mastermind behind the competition. Enjoy the silliness and Happy Pi Day! (see video above)
Camp Golden Years: More Golden Than Your Average Years
Describing Camp Golden Years as just a dog rescue would be like calling a gourmet pie “just a dessert.” This place is a resort where senior dogs spend their golden years lounging, cuddling, and occasionally, engaging in pie-eating contests. “It’s like an oasis,” I said, not just for the dogs, but for anyone who’s ever dreamed of diving into a pile of pies with a bunch of furry judges.
The Furry Contenders
First up, meet Millhouse, the senior dog equivalent of a wise, old man who occasionally forgets where he left his glasses. Despite recently regaining his sight, Millhouse approached the pie-eating contest with the kind of gusto you’d expect from a dog who’s seen it all—except, perhaps, an apple pie he didn’t fancy. Then there’s Bubs, the reigning champ with a stomach as ambitious as his heart, ready to defend his title or at least steal a pie or two in the attempt.
A Pie Spectacle Unfolds
“3, 2, 1, go!” And they were off, diving snout-first into the pies with all the grace of a bulldozer. The scene was less of a contest and more a comedy of errors, featuring cameo appearances by pies of varying appeal and dogs with very specific tastes. Bubs, ever the opportunist, decided mid-competition that variety is indeed the spice of life, swapping his pie for someone else’s, proving that in the world of dog pie-eating contests, loyalty is to the pie, not the plate.
Every Dog’s a Winner, But Some Are More Pie-Filled Than Others
As the dust settled and the last crumbs were licked, it was clear that every participant was a champion in their own right. “I think if you’re a senior dog and you’ve made it this far in life, you’re a winner,” I mused, handing out medals that were met with wagging tails and, presumably, very full bellies.
A Challenge That Takes the Cake (Or Pie)
The day ended with a human pie-eating challenge, because why should dogs have all the fun? The stakes were high, the pies were dubious, and the laughter was uncontrollable. The real prize was not just the $2,000 donation to Camp Golden Years, but the joy of sharing in such a ludicrously wonderful moment.
A Call to Arms (And Paws)
So, as the sun set on a day filled with pie, paws, and a little bit of pandemonium, we extended an invitation to join the cause. Whether by adopting a senior dog, supporting Camp Golden Years, or simply following their adventures, everyone can contribute to giving these dogs the golden years they deserve.
On this Pi Day, let’s remember: life is short, eat the pie, and maybe share a slice or two with a senior dog looking for their forever home. After all, in the grand scheme of things, it’s not just about the pies we eat, but the pies we share with our four-legged friends.
