That gives the wrong impression. That's about people trying to keep their pets comfortable, not about how well dogs can run in the heat.

Seems like you did dare to think whether you want to try to achieve something like that, and decided nope :-) Sorokin and Ardzijauskas are "normal human being[s]"; and we can be pretty sure that their accomplishment was so much ha

You were already confused when you posted the wikipedia link. Aleksandr Sorokin's 24-hour world record is an amazing feat. Aidas Ardzijauskas's daily run is an amazing feat. They are not like observed persistence hunts. So when `s

Neither Aleksandr Sorokin's 24-hour world record or Aidas Ardzijauskas's daily run have anything to say about persistence hunting. Sorokin's run is way too fast. Aidas Ardzijauskas's run is too long and too frequent. For
