His name is Cutter. He is a 1.5 year old coonhound mix and he is full of love and a whole lot of energy. He doesn't like to eat dry dog food, so it's looking like we are going to have to get him wet food or cook him people food (my vote is for the latter as it is healthier and cheaper). He paces and paces a lot as he has more energy than he knows what to do with, so I decided to take him for his first run tonight (we got him yesterday). I decided to start him out easy, so I took him on the 2ish mile baseline loop and ran it slow. He was, without any doubt, the best dog I have ever run with. It was as if he was born to be my running buddy. He ran to my port (left) side and just behind me. He had no problem keeping pace and, with the exception of the occasional lamp post or fire hydrant, never pulled or went off course. What's more, since returning from our run he has been calmer, less anxious, and he ate his dog food (I had to do a lot of coaxing). I think we are going to be good together! :)
