Synopsis: Daisy the Bulldog has gone to every one of her owner&’s triathlons. She&’s proud of his athletic accomplishments, and is always there to greet him at the finish line. Daisy wonders if she could train and compete for an event like that. So she gets her doggy friends, Rascal the Dachshund, Atticus the Corgi, and Hobie the Dalmation to make their own dog-athalon. They plot a course through the park and train daily: swimming across the pond, skateboarding down the sidewalks, running up and down the hill. Finally, it&’s the big day, and the poochy pals couldn&’t be more excited. The course is tough, but they help one another along the way, cheering to keep going, challenging to do their very best. On the final hill, Daisy&’s tired and not sure she can make it to the finish line—until she spots a familiar (human) face, rooting for her along the way. &“Go, Daisy, go! Swim, bark, run. Go, Daisy, go! Just have fun!&” A charming celebration of setting goals and staying active, SWIM BARK RUN demonstrates that with determination and teamwork, everyone&’s a winner.
