Dancing with the Dogs
November 2006 - The Provincetown Banner"Dancing With The Dogs - Sunday's hottest draw proved to be the "Capering Canines" doggie dancing event at the Senior Center. Dubbed a "freestyle" dancing performance by dogs and their owners, the four canines featured in the event, Chip, Sam, Wiley and Tobey, proved to be quick studies. As Chip, a tiny Coton de Tulear, obediently hurled himself in the air and dashed through a makeshift tunnel, mixed-breed Sam mirrored the cha-cha dancing steps of his owner. But the show belonged to Tobey, a sweet-toothed golden retriever who his owner confessed was new to the sport. Enticed by the sight of a little girl quietly munching a piece of cake on the sidelines, Tobey stopped mid-dance and skittered across the floor for a bite of his own."

Dancing with the Canine Stars
September 2007: The Yarmouth Register
Excerpt: "On a steamy summer evening, Katie Tracanna of Dennis and Jan Weiner of Sandwich chat on a grassy glen in South Yarmouth. Sitting patiently beside the two women are Sammy, Wiley Coyote, Tobey and Chip, registered therapy dogs who delight in canine musical freestyle as members of Capering Canines of Cape Cod. The ensemble’s opening number, “Dancing in the Streets,” highlights each dog’s special talent. Wiley spins, Sammy weaves through Tracanna’s legs, Tobey walks backwards and Chip performs a series of jumps and flips."
