Dogs are by far, the best running partners. They will almost run any distance just to please you and are always happy about running. They never complain about the weather, let us choose the route, allow us to set the pace and distance (most of the time), and motivate us to run on an almost a daily basis – more than any human running partner ever could. The joy that they bring is infectious and even when you may not feel motivated to exercise, the guilt of depriving your dog of their favourite activity is usually enough to spur us on.
