Dogs As Running Partners
I normally take my dog out for run, 1.5miles and he is fine. Other day my friend wanted to go for a 3mile run and I took my dog. After 2 miles he was tired and I egged him on, big mistake! After about 2.5miles I thought he was going to die. I am annoyed at myself, it took him 2 days to fully recover. I am never taking him 3 miles again, if he would have died I would have been in big trouble with the wife who told me not to take him. I thought dogs were fitter than humans and he would have been fine. NEVER AGAIN! I could kick myself thinking back, I just wanted to keep up with my friend when my real friend was ready to die! He is a Bullmastiff called Benny.

Benny has a short nose and with all the heat he was at a disadvantage to start with ~ big dogs are not really built for long runs.
You are lucky he didn't collapse - carrying him home would have been quite a challenge.
I hope that you are taking water for him to drink when you go running.

Cannot believe people are still taking their dogs out running in this hot weather, all round where I live people are also walking their dogs in the full heat of the day. Mine only go out either first thing or late at night - they have a higher body temperature than we do to start with, so they feel the heat more. The rain today has been a welcome change for them.
