I'm pretty sure the whole wad was running the entire race. I think they just finally sorted this "easy" one out. LOL!!!!!!! If I was relying on them for my food, I still would have ate. However, I saw bigger tracks around. After that long of a race in 90 degree muggy heat, I would have taken the "easy" route too. I think I killed bigger mosquitos that night.
Thats funny...I feel you. Good looking hound
