Dog meets World Cup finalists

Do you consider world famous skiers to be celebs? Hope so, because here's a quick news bit about winning skiers and the dog they met at the finish line.

I always thought if you finished in the top three at a World Cup event, they gave you a medal or cup or something. Apparently if you do really well, you get a dog!

I'm sure Kjetil Andre Aamodt of Norway and Benjamin Raich of Austria got nice medals for their winning times at the Alpine Skiing World Cup. These two skiers also got something extra--their picture taken with a fan's dog! Aamodt took second in the Combined Slalom and Raich won the the men's Alpine Skiing Super-Combined World Cup event. Both took the time to have their photo taken with a fan's dog.

It's nice to see the pooches 0ut supporting their favorite Olympic hopefuls!
