ODDS AND ENDS

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Sugar The Surfing Dog, the first canine inducted into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame, has died. The 16-year-old rescue dog from Huntington Beach, Calif., died Monday after battling cancer. Sugar was found as a stray and over the years her love of the waves took dog surfing to new heights. She was a five-time dog surfing world champion. Dressed in a life jacket, spectators would watch the furry white canine in amazement as she balanced on her surfboard, riding wave after wave back to the shore. She spent her days outside the water comforting veterans as a dedicated therapy dog.
