Dog Crashes Indianapolis Race

The Indianapolis mini-marathon picked up an unregistered—and four-legged—participant over the weekend, reports WTHR. Police monitoring Saturday's 500 Festival race spotted a dog trotting along with runners and captured the moment on body camera video later shared on social media. "Were you running the race, buddy?" one officer is heard asking as they approach the canine.

The dog, described by officers as friendly, was taken to Indianapolis Animal Care Services. Officials say he'll be held there while they search for his owner, per UPI. If no one claims him by May 13, the unexpected racer will be made available for adoption.
