Btw this would be physically impossible for it right? Even half marathons are something thay basically only a very few specific animals can do right?

Nah dogs have mad endurance too. My dog comes mountain biking with me and runs 20 miles, I have a friend that rode 40 miles with his border Collie following. I have another friend that studies mountain lions and hikes with a rat terrier trained to sniff out scat and they do about 15-20 miles/day
Dogs have been hunting partners for humans for likely tens of thousands of years. They should have comparable endurance…they go wherever we go
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
They have good enough endurance for the hunts they’d be involved with us for, but we are almost uniquely suited for endurance in the animal kingdom.
Becoming terminators is maybe the real thing that launched our ancestors.

Some older dogs - well, at least one good boi I met by a stunning lake - will run and run and run to the point they can barely walk the following days. Dog sooo wanted to fetch this stick so owner has to ask:
Please don’t throw that stick. […]
Can take his youth… not his drive!

Dogs are one of those specific animals. There’s a reason they got domesticated into dogs in the first place - because they’re the closest to be able to keep up with a hairless monkey at running after an injured animal.
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Yeah i see from the other comments as well. Now that you point it put its logical that humans would pick wolves/dogs, the only animals that could keep up.

Our 10lbs dog can come on 25km walks/hikes with us and wants to continue so a larger dog like that following humans at what isn’t running running speed for a dog that large? As long as water was available and temperature wasn’t too high, I would believe it…
I just did a web search and people do it with their dog, even smaller breeds…

Wolves are the most prolific persistence hunters. It’s like there whole thing

It is certainly on the upper end of what dogs can do without inflicting harm on their body, but a one off doesn’t have to be harmless.

Sled dogs are crazy. So much stamina.
Here’s a blog post about some science The Canine Kings of Endurance | Runner’s World - runnersworld.com/…/the-canine-kings-of-endurance/
That dog in the picture though. Betcha anything it didn’t start at the beginning but just joined later in the race. Little cheater.

Wait till you hear about humans.
While most of us these days are obese, humans as a species are capable of running indefinitely. Because of that, we could hunt faster prey by simply tiring them out

This and uncanny ability to pickup shit in the go. Who the fuck just bows a little and scooos uo water in their hooves to drink while running?! WHY AREN’T YOU STOPPING EVEN TO DRINK?!
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I know about humans. A sled dog would not prosper on the savannah. Humans are everywhere. 34% of the global mammal biomass is humans.

I went I for a pee and then I started run-ing.

How fast you can get when you really hard need to pee…
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Just earlier I had walked to the store and back, came back to my dogs wanting to go pee. It’s kinda hot today and I was out of it, grabbed the leash, forgot to put it on and then opened the door as my husky dashed out before I realized I fucked up. Chase after her and she just ran to her usual pee spot, pissed and then ran back to the door of our apartment. I was expecting her to just bolt, like she has always done before.
gamer@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Huskies are great. Mine loses her shit if I even look at the leash, but she will not run out the door by herself. At worst, she’ll take a few steps out with her ears down (which is the sign that she knows she’s being bad), but then run back in as soon as I call her.
I didn’t train her at all, she’s just an unnaturally good girl for some reason.

How could a husky be happy living in an apartment?
qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Depends on the dog, the available space and how their are cared for.
I take care of two shepperd dogs and they just love to spend their day sleeping and lazying around. Morning walk I almost need to beg them to get out of bed. End of the day walk, they’re fine. But these are two lazy ladies. My partner, their godfather, was always up for a long walk, come sun or rain.

This is me and you
And we are running

Where hope is shining through- the Dog, probablyJerb322@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I hope his name is Forest…

“Where we all goin?” - Dog probably
LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I wonder if the dog was anxious, like “why are we all running away?” or if it was the greatest day of their life.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
That looks like a Labrador / Bloodhound mix. Both have a lot of running in their DNA. And labradors are particularly communal. So very probably “greatest day of their life”. They finally found some humans who understand the value of a good long pack run. Haha.
