Dog Accidentally Joins Half Marathon, Finishes Race In 7th Place

Quote:
The marathon entrant finished in seventh place, but she made several stops along the way.
Ludivine, a two-year-old bloodhound in Alabama, won a medal for her seventh-place finish in the Trackless Train Trek Half-Marathon.
She raced with other, two-legged runners, crossing the finish line of the 13.1-mile course with a time of 1:32:56.
All of this came as quite a surprise to Ludivine's owner who had let the dog out to do her business and thought she was just out running in the woods.
