Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air is important for everyone, including our dogs.
If our pooches don't get out to exercise, they'll get depressed or even sick. Think about it – if you were cooped up in the house all day, how would you feel?
Especially on nice sunny days, feeling the breeze in your hair can really boost your mood.
Most of our furry friends live for that feeling.
Watching our dogs emit joy like a ray of sunshine as they are running wild and free is unlike anything else. Their tails wag like propellers and they grin from ear to floppy ear.
When you catch running dogs, though, it doesn't always look as graceful as it really is. They're going so quickly and powerfully that there's no time to think about vanity. It's all about the fun!
These 15 dogs caught midrun are all so precious, even if they may look a bit silly.

I'd love to see this lovely coat swish about as his little legs move as fast as they can.

It's OK; we can't all be graceful all the time. This minor tumble was worth it to get into that ocean water.

This pointer did not know that a picture was being taken. She was more concerned with rounding the corner with dexterity.
