This is a strange question, but do we know how far a dog can run? I know humans can run farther and longer than most other animals. But what about dogs? Does it depend on the breed? I know sled dogs seem to run for days on end.

Hi GooseD, that’s a great question! How far a dog can safely run for depends on the individual dog. If the dog is in top physical health and the weather conditions are good, some dogs can easily run for hours on end and much further than a marathon. I know that sled dogs in good condition can run over 100 miles a day. But regardless of their health, dogs need breaks every few hours.
