Nearly 200 dogs and their owners gather at Expo City Dubai to take part in the 'Paw Power Challenge', a 2.5-kilometre obstacle race where dog owners and their pups team up. "It's obviously very important to always stay healthy, but we also need to ensure that our animals stay healthy as well because we both want to live a long life together," says A.J. Amer, a participant, adding that "the race was perfect."

00:00For our challenge, it was amazing to be with the dogs.
00:11We finished the whole challenge.
00:12It was fun.
00:13We loved the obstacles.
00:15It wasn't difficult at all.
00:16People were scared that they won't be able to finish it.
00:18Everybody finished it.
00:19The dogs loved it.
00:20These both are both the guys.
00:21They loved it.
00:22You can see they're tired, but they loved it so much.
00:26I think the race was perfect.
00:282.5 kilometers was fantastic.
00:30It was just challenging enough for myself, and I think it was extra challenging for the
00:36pup.
00:37She's going to sleep all night, but I think it's a very good amount of exercise for myself
00:41and the pup combined.
00:46We did it now because it's getting hot, so we managed to get this in before people go
00:50away for the summer.
00:51It gets too hot.
00:52A lot of dogs have to walk at certain times to beat the heat.
00:57We wanted to get in there and have a challenge for everyone before that happens.
01:03I think it's very, very important, not only one for us as humans.
01:09It's obviously very important to always stay healthy, but we also need to ensure that our
01:14animals or our pets stay healthy as well because we both want to live a long life together.
