Animal News: Dog Decides to Run A Half Marathon, Is Pretty Chill About It

"WHATCHA DOIN? RUNNING?? OH YEAH I LIKE TO RUN TOO LET'S GO!"

Ludivine is a good name for a great doggie. She lives in a small town where you can let your dog go do whatever it wants, which in this case is to go run a half marathon and hang out with some people, then come home later. (This is probably the best reason I have yet heard to live in rural Alabama.)

This photo of her at the start of the race is the best. Look how happy she is! This is a very happy doggie. We should all be so happy. Also this anecdote from the article posted over on Runners World indicates that although she was very happy to run the race she also had time to enjoy the little things:

When Ludivine stopped to investigate a dead rabbit around the 2-mile mark [Ed., as you do], Horvath caught back up with her. 

What a majestic and glorious beast! The world needs more dogs like this. Congratulations Ludivine on your big day at the race. I hope that you continue to enjoy every day with the same enthusiasm. You are a great doggie with a good owner.
