On your marks, get setter, go.

The dog probably enjoyed the company for a change.
The owner sounds like a lazy so and so, just letting the dog out into the road to walk itself.

Lovely story. Easy distance for a dog with endurance built into its genes.

I love it!

Love the idea of a special 7th place prize. You just know that in years to come the origin of that prize will be local legend

7th, you say? Obviously not the kind of dog that's used to taking the lead.

I don't suppose that distance is much for a Bloodhound. Originally bred for hunting and used to track down escaped prisoners over long distances. The dog obviously enjoyed stretching his legs.

The dog in question was a SHE. And she came seventh despite being distracted by a dead rabbit, another dog, and some cows in a field.

With fewer distractions would she winalot?

What a super dog.

The distractions gave her a chance to paws for breath.

In which case - well done that bitch!
