She ran with us, ahead of us and behind us but she was there all along.  The darkness of the early morning gave way to the Sunrise and then the daylight took its full effect. We didn't stop for a break until 11 kilometers. The 🐕 was there with us all along. It so became that we had to protect her from other dogs as we crossed one place and went to the other, for dogs are very protective of their territories.  We found that we weren't carrying any biscuits with us. Meanwhile, we started offering her water in a water bottle lid. We didn't have any shop enroute as we were running o...
