Dog Runs Half Marathon
There was a surprise entry in the University of Maryland's half marathon last week: a golden retriever/poodle mix named Dozer who escaped from his invisible fence and decided to join the race!
After he returned home, dog-tired, his owners heard about a running dog, recognized their pooch and reported his exploits to the race organizers. Dozer received a medal for finishing and is now raising money on his own web page to support cancer research.
Nice finish.
