Dog Runs Half Marathon
Huh, I wonder if they will start creating running races for dogs now Just imagine how the 1,128 people who were beat by a dog felt. Does that mean they got K-9ed? Or dogged?

Re: Dog Runs Half Marathon
There's a 5k for dogs with their owner in Chicago. Winning time this year was in the high 16's, and my buddy has already asked me to run with his dog next year to go for the win. We're negotiating my asking price.
Re: Dog Runs Half Marathon
I can handle getting beat in a race by a dog. I never really expected to ever be able to outrun a dog. Now, if they could do / were doing these types of races for animals like....turtles, rhinos, elephants.....then yes, I would be feeling pretty lousy about my own abilities

The Pittsburgh marathon offers, in addition to the marathon, half marathon, relay, 5K, kids marathon, a pet walk. It costs $20 and the website says only well-behaved pets are welcome. Interesting

A sad epilogue to the story: The dog died later.

How sad. I write for Babble Pets and had covered this story. Now I'll have to go add the unfortunate update.Mark B wrote:A sad epilogue to the story: The dog died later.
