The founders of The Kanine Derby said they couldn't figure out whether to call the new races they've put together Dog Races or Monkey Races, so they've settled for "The Kanine Derby."

Watch the Swiss Family Robinson again. You are about 48 years or so late on the monkey racing on the dog trick. :)
