this a.m.
Apropos of nothing in particular.
I was watching this program this morning where dogs run, jump over hurdles, through tunnels, quick turns etc, chasing a fake rabbit on a wire, with the winner doing it in the least time with the least of missed or flubbed obstacles. It looked to me that the dogs in this category of the competition were all mixed breeds, with a heavy emphasis on terrier in their mixes. Most of them looked quite a bit like Jack Russel's, but not pure bred.
To my eye, these little guys looked just blindingly, lightning fast. That got me to thinking about banty-weight boxers and how fast they look.
That got me to wondering, I wonder if they're really faster than bigger dogs/boxers, or is it a trick of my eye that makes smaller appear faster?
