I liked the dog I saw on TV a few years ago that helped push his master's wheel chair in marathons.

That was sooo cool.

I liked his "Gary Larson dog" expression. He acted like he ran marathons all the time. :)

Cute story, but fake. If you look at the scenes early in the race, Dozer's feet are uncovered. Look at the shots at and near the finish, and he's wearing doggie running shoes.

Sort of like this one: http://www.etv-hellas.net/videos/2014-03-05.html

I sent it to a friend in Greece. The language is Greek, and he said the video is actually a promotional, fund raising video for a group that wants to stop Norwegians and Fins from killing dolphins. It's a touching story -- but it's just a story.

Some of that video might have been recreated but the story isn't fake. He also wasn't wearing shoes, that was mud on his paws.

This is a different video showing him crossing the finish line.

Well, that makes me feel better about it. Thank you.
