Nothing starts a morning off better than a nice, long run!
If you love to run, then you know that there is just something magical about getting your blood pumping and your feet slamming into the ground. If you don't enjoy running, maybe you are just missing the right running partner.
The cross-country team at St. Joseph High School in California figured that their morning training sessions could use a few more lopsided smiles and wagging tails.
The team invited a bunch of dogs from the local Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter out for a morning run! Each member of the team was paired with a pup and it was honestly the most adorable morning ever.
"I am not sure who was more excited and having the most fun… the dogs or the kids," team coach Luis Escobar wrote on his Facebook page.
The team enjoyed themselves and they seemed to make the dogs' days even better! They hope to have the pups out for another run again soon. Hopefully, this inspired people in their community to adopt these dogs! I want to see more teams across the country doing this!
If you enjoy this, you will love these California teens reading to shelter dogs to comfort them and show them love.
