This bloodhound has gone viral after finishing 7th in a have marathon after being let out to pee. What a lovable dog and fun story…
Yahoo news reports:
A dog that accidentally entered a half marathon after being let out to pee by its owner ended up finishing seventh in the race.
The impressive performance was by a two-year-old bloodhound called Ludivine from the town of Elkmount, Alabama.
Her owner April Hamlin, 43, let the dog out to take care of her private doggy business, only for her to wag her tail into the Trackless Trek half marathon in the town.
Instead of stopping, Ludivine kept ploughing her way around the course and ended up finishing in seventh place overall in an impressive time of just under 1 hr 33 minutes.

Organisers marked her achievement by awarding her a medal.
On their Facebook page, they wrote: “This is Ludivine – she ran the entire half marathon and finished 7th overall with a time of 1:32.56.”
Ludivine is a great name!
According to NY Daily News, Ludivine, a 2 1/2-year-old bloodhound, snuck out of her owner’s backyard in Elkmont, Alabama, on Saturday morning and found her way to the starting gate of the inaugural Trackless Train Trek Half Marathon.
“All I did was open the door, and she ran the race on her own accord,” April Hamlin, Ludivine’s owner, told Runner’s World.
Great job, Ludivine!
