Athena: My Running Partner

I used to jog around our village with then 8-month old Athena who easily outrun me. After months of hiatus, I am resuming my regular runs with her. I can outrun her for now, but in a few more outings I am sure she will get her groove back and outpace me. Bred for hunting, the indefatigable beagle will easily outrun the marathoner!

When done with running, the friendly Athena loves being caressed by children and adults alike.
