Some very good pups got to live out the dream of racing on the ice.

A slew of good dogs raced their little hearts out during the first intermission of the American Hockey League game between San Antonio and Rockford as part of pucks and paws night Friday in Rockford.

A very good boy named Darby finished first at the race, but we're all winners for getting to watch the dogs on the ice.
