Dogs with Jobs - Season 5, Episode 10: Pay, Fergus, Blossom

Pay, a five-year-old European sled dog and a competitive athlete in the fledgling sport of bikejoring, has to be strong enough to pull his handler, Sona Klikarova, and fast enough not to get run over by her bike. Sona and Pay, who live in a small ski-resort town northeast of Prague, are about to defend their bikejoring title at the World Championship in Spain. Sona and Pay train twice a day in preparation for the race. Although Pay is an excellent athlete, he has a nervous temperment - at last year ‘s European Bikejore Championship, he got spooked and caused Sona to fly off her bike and crash. Pay is still nervous and Sona is working hard to build up his trust in her so he won’t get spooked at the upcoming race.

The vet will assess Fergus just before Thanksgiving. Will Sam have something else to be thankful for or will Fergus have to retire early?
In a breed known for its rumpled skin, Shar-Pei Blossom is a standout. Shar-Peis often get less wrinkly as they grow up. But not Blossom - her ageless wrinkles once made her a star, allowing her to appear in calendars, print ads and commercials. But lately things have been slow for Blossom on the modeling front. To get her wrinkly beauty’s career back on track, owner Marilyn Bronstein brings Blossom to Manhattan for a photo shoot and audition to model for a dog calendar. The competition is stiff, so Marilyn lets Blossom reveal a special dancing talent! But are Blossom’s moves and good looks enough to get her the pin-up gig?
