Run for Freedom
The pup's owner dropped the leash and a kind cyclist saw and chased it through the streets of Mexico City until it was rescued and returned to its owner.

Edit:
"Step on the leash!" - The guy is on a bike.
"Get off the bike!" - He wouldn't be able to keep up with the dog.
"That dog is stupid!" - That dog is panicked.
"The owner must be abusive!" - Shut up, Jon Snow.

I would just like to point out to OP, that dog may be panicked, but he's also a small dog and small dogs are stupid and like to run away.

Yep. I have Chows. They stay near me, because I am the thing they are protecting.

Well yes, I didn't mean to imply that the dog is brilliant or anything. But this is typical dog behavior.

think the only dog I have ever had that didn't think it was a game to run away is the golden lab we have now. He's too old to do this.

Nah you're totally right. Every big dog I've had has been good about listening when outside. Small ones love to run, they get hyped.

The fact that neither the person nor the dog got hit in city traffic is amazing.

Oh yeah, I have too, and one of my high school friends had a nice enough yorkie, but kinda the exception to the rule with that one.

They do have big attitudes but it doesn't help that a lot of people treat them like babies, instead of dogs.

Wow how bad did that dog want to get away from it's owner?

Completely untrained dog. Never had a dog that would go near a street. These little dogs are stupid as shit, though. Fucker runs in traffic.

It probably got spooked by something, and then continued freaking out because of his surroundings. Poor little pup, glad he's ok.
Surbies
I mean at some point you just need to let it go. That dogs made its decision.
Potatopeelerkind
Probably started running as a game then almost got run over and got scared.

Thought it saw a sewer ready at first because of the leash looking like a long tail

You ever drop the leash and make the dumb mistake of chasing your dog? It's a game to them, and dogs are better sprinters than humans.
Parastratios
No see my dog is trained to stop when i say stop and come when i say come... you know, like a well behaved well trained dog?
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
I bet you're the same guy who trusts walking his 80 pound shepherd around without a leash, "because he listens to me!" up until he doesn't.
Parastratios
I have a golden retriever and he wouldn't hurt fly. Poor guy is scared of cats.
Ssssssssssss
To explain for non dog owners: you chase and the dog runs, and they give you a fucking heart attack even if there's nothing dangerous around
bandabears
Yea i mean to an extent but this dude was on a mission. Didn't even seem to notice someone chasing him.
Ssssssssssss
I can't really account for this situation. The dog...well, that dog ran hard and through shit dogs usually spook at.
xfumo
A trainer taught me to run away from the dog, and they'll instinctively run in the same direction as you, easier to catch them that way.
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
(my dog is kinda good so this might be biased) any time I drop the leash, I just calmly say my dog's name and walk up to them, (1/2)
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
(2/2) if you act like nothing is wrong, and don't panic, your dog will think the same, and not panic.
NATA5
I did once but I just laid on the ground and rolled around so he would come to me.

Dogs have the second best stamina of any animal on the planet, right after humans.
Musicosity
Wolves**
BleachIsGood
Well, humans are number 2 and dogs are number 3. Number one is a sled dog so I dunno if that counts as a dog.
SPQAAE
Isn't that because they lack the ability to pace themselves? I heard humans can alter the pace and thus their stamina can almost be endless.

Well, humans and dogs are the best distance runners, obviously birds can go further distances on one go.

Actually some sled dogs have better stamina than the best humans because of the way they use their energy, Ive heard.

MetalTao
Aye, how do you measure Stamina? Staminunits? Besides, we can out run any animal because we don't have to sacrifice breathing for running1/2
MetalTao
Because when we exert ourselves we can breath appropriately for our exercise and sweat to cool off instead of panting which is disruptive

What about the Arctic Tern? The distance it flies a lifetime is equivalent to an astronaut travelling to the moon and back three times 1/2
IronRod
They can't run for shit, though.
ImjurJiffer
Breeds near the North Pole then circumnavigates the globe to spend its winters at the South Pole – covering up to 300 miles per day
asm80dfa8sdfj
Wings allow birds to glide through the air, and one up to altitude, they exert dramatically less energy than "sprinting" up there.
ImjurJiffer
So, is stamina based off Total amount of energy expenditure or duration of energy expenditure ?

We bred working dogs which include hunting so naturally in order to keep up with us on a long hunt they would need to have high stamina

Breeding. I think he's talking about breeding. A.k.a. artificial selection.
Findingabetterway
Huh, who knew. You learn something bee every day.
BhawbTheMagnificent
Yes and no. Some dogs have more stamina than humans (see: sled dogs), and otherwise humans are #1.
Drougals
These average speeds a for 20+ mile runs Humans sit at 12.75 mph
Drougals
Your'e wrong here. Sled dogs keep an average speed of 20+ mph out doing humans and Number one for stamina is the ostrich maintaining 30mph
IronRod
Will a sled dog stop once they're tired? A human has the will power to just keep going. Plus, a sled dog is only good in the cold.

We're the best pursuit predators on the planet. Ancient humans would simply follow their prey until the animal fell over from exhaustion.
