Pup Completes Tough Mudder in Record Time

Pup Completes Tough Mudder in Record Time

When Dean the dog signed up last minute to compete in a Tough Mudder without any training, friends thought he was nuts. 

“There was no way he would be able to finish,” said close friend and Tough Mudder enthusiast Steph Wilson. “It’s not that he’s not in shape – he’s as active as the next dog. But this is different, plus, he never follows through. He came to CrossFit with me once, two years ago, and then bailed.”

But Dean lucked out. The course he signed up for turned out to be tailor-made for all his strengths.

“It almost wasn’t fair,” said Wilson. “All the obstacles were perfect for him. The frisbee catch, the puddle jump, the stick carry, the squirrel chase, the roll in smelly leaves… it was all stuff he’s great at.”

He finished with a canine course record time of  2h 21m.
