Gracie Laney, Logan Secondary school’s senior runner, had an unusual experience lately while competing at a track event in Utah. As she soared ahead of her opponents and glided down the final stretch alone, Gracie came across something unexpected – a cute four-legged buddy!
Track meets are usually full of exciting running and jumping events; however this was made even more fun when Gracie encountered her fuzzy companion on the course!
All she had to do is run stable and she would certainly have no worry coming in first place for her group. A dog in the location, however, had other plans for Gracie. “I would certainly say probably about the 50-meters [mark], I could feel something coming on me, and I thought it was a person. I believed it was the runner,” Laney shared.
” And then I kind of recognized that it was truly little.” As she ran the second heat of the girls’ 4 x 200 relay event, suddenly, a small dog came speeding up behind her. Somehow, the pooch damaged free from her owners and decided to try to catch Gracie.
Video clip footage shows the little dog named Holly, show up on a grassy area, run previous two various other participants, and catch up to Laney. Incredibly, Holly not just went neck in neck with the speedy Laney, but she wound up passing her off and coming in first place!
” After seeing the video clip, I believed, ‘ Divine cow, that dog is so fast,’” Laney stated. “So I thought it was type of funny [that] I got beat by a dog.”
Laney was taken aback when she listened to the crowd erupt in cheers as Holly approached her– she thought it was just a run-of-the mill audience response. Little did she know that they were in fact cheering for Holly’s reunion with its rightful owner! Although Laney never discovered that owned the beloved pup, she is overjoyed recognizing that it found its way home securely and securely.
She hopes one day to potentially meet up with Holly again and get a selfie with each other before saying farewell once more.
