Meanwhile, a cat that also got thrown a bone licked itself and fell asleep.

Ya see, if that was a cat it would have just stolen their bikes.

Human beings have nothing at all to brag about when it comes to psychical prowess .The Animal World leaves us way very far behind .Sports is an Industry keeping alive the illusion that we psychically the puniest creatures in existence have something to boast about . The Human Intellect wins over the Animal's every time but there the superiority ends .Ounce for ounce the ordinary domestic cat and dog beats us every time .The Animal world would laugh at the London Olympics if it could see and understand the ridiculous spectacle .The above video is only one example out of many that shows the proof of a fact many would rather ignore .

ah that's just the cutest story I've heard in a while

linkie

"There was one day when we climbed the 14,700ft-tall peak of Anjiala mountain," he said.

"We did more than 40 miles uphill and at the end I had to get off my bike and push. The dog ran ahead of me and stopped at a crossroads.

"She waited for a while, but got bored because I took so long, so ran back, put her paws on my calves, and started licking me."

Cheers op for sharing

Yeah well. I walk to the shop and back almost every day.

That is one cool dog. And looking at it run, the poor little thing, that's loyalty for you now. No dog should be without a master.

Such a small dog as well - impressive! Nice story though, glad to hear about the Chinese bonding with dogs rather than eating them for a change.

Its a wonder how it avoided the cooking pot.:D

Bet a few of those Chinese Cyclists were looking at it after the first few miles thinking....mmmm dinner.

"He said the dog had enough energy to run with the cyclists for at least 30 to 40 miles a day"

"We did more than 40 miles uphill and at the end I had to get off my bike and push. The dog ran ahead of me and stopped at a crossroads."

I don't want to get all serious and what not BUT...It's incredible distances when you look at such a small dog.

Now think of dogs like Huskies and Malumutes that are bred for this sort of thing and people wonder why their pet dog is climbing the walls or biting kids when it gets 20 minutes walk a day!!.
