Early Saturday morning, Ludivine, a two-and-a-half-year-old hound dog, was let out of the house in Elkmont, Alabama, to do her business. Prone to roaming around town at will, Ludivine snuck out of the backyard and made her way to the starting area of the inaugural Trackless Train Trek Half Marathon about a quarter mile away.
Ludivine proceeded to mingle with the runners, run the entire 13.1-mile course, cross the finish line in an unofficial 1:32:56, and have a medal draped over her floppy brown ears--all without her owner, April Hamlin, realizing she had wandered off in the first place. The incident was first reported in Canadian Running Magazine.
"All I did was open the door, and she ran the race on her own accord," Hamlin, 43, told Runner's World, saying she received texts with photos of Ludivine from friends who were volunteering at the finish. "My first reaction was that I was embarrassed and worried that she had possibly gotten in the way of the other runners."

What a great dog! He looks so happy. :)
Are you talking about the comments at IMGUR? I agree. Imgur often has many wry, pithy and funny gems amongst the sarcasm and assorted crap. Huge time sink, though.

That is one of only two Super Bowl ads that I remember well, the other being the 1984 Apple Mac ad.
I’ll have to try to find the Apple Mac ad.
