Us humans have to train for months to compete in a gruelling half marathon, but one dog just fancied a spontaneous run one afternoon and managed to place seventh in the 13-mile race.

Ludivine had been let out to pee by owner April Hamlin but ended up wandering off to the starting line of a half marathon a quarter of a mile away.
With all the people and excitement, Ludivine decided to join in and ran the entire marathon in just over an hour and 30 minutes.
Other (human) runners said she would’ve come first if she hadn’t been distracted by interesting fields and things that needed a good sniff.
Finishing seventh, Ludivine was awarded a medal for her spontaneous athleticism.
And the best part? Ludivine’s human, April, told Runner’s World, “I can’t believe she ran the whole half marathon — she’s actually really lazy!”
You show ’em, Ludivine.
