Just outran a dog jogging!

Sign in to disble this ad
I was out on my regular lunchtime run ,with AC/DC on the BT headset, when suddenly I behold the yipping of a small dog and spot a white blur close behind me. So I turned on the jets and took off. I could hear the owner yelling in the distance, and that thing followed me for about 1/2 mile before it gave up. I stopped and gloated for a few seconds while the little thing huffed and puffed.

I stand victorious before you!

Why didn't you stop and confront the beast? The dog probably went back to his dog buddies and laughed about how fast he made you run and you wouldn't even stop to confront him.

I did taunt him with my smug expression. But his owner looks a bit like George Foreman, so I had to keep it quiet.

Not sure, I think it was wearing a pink bow.

If anyone wants too see said dog in action, watch the following video. It creeps me out so much though. Great story, but if this thing ran up to me like that I would seriously be afraid for my life. *shudders*

Dogs are finally getting the message about fitness, so you're bound to see more of them out jogging.

This is one of my favorite things to do on our dog beach when a stupid dog owner has their dog off the leash and the dog is out of control. I'm riding my quad and I let it think it's going to catch me, then I gun it. I've lured dogs almost two miles down the beach doing this. Sigh. I'm not a proud man.

It's one thing to outrun a dog jogging, but what about when the dog's running full tilt?

Oh it's not that bad. In fact it's good. So good I tear up with how much win it really is.
