The Scotland Island Dog Race has been changed forever after the 11-month-old Tonkinese's groundbreaking performance.
The cat that entered a dog swimming race in Sydney's northern beaches on Christmas Eve walked away with a gold in his category, and he celebrated with a Christmas swim.
Gus joined about 70 dogs and their owners in this year's race, competing for the prize of dog food and beer.However, Mr Druery said the crowd at the finish line "went wild" at the sight of Gus finishing the race. Gus' participation in the race drew some controversy and race organiser Scott Taylor initially said the cat's entry into the event was "not happening", pointing to safety concerns.Mr Druery said Gus successfully completed the swim and will enter again next year, with training beginning on Christmas Day.
