猎犬追随参赛者脚步轻松拿下半程马拉松第七名

Runners in Alabama may have bitten off more competition than they anticipated in a race earlier this month.

本月的一场半程马拉松比赛中，参赛者遭到了一位不速之客的竞争。

A dog finished in the top ten in the Elkmont Half Marathon -- The Trackless Train Trek on January 16 and has become quite the Internet sensation.

1月16日，阿拉巴马州的埃尔克蒙特市举办了这场半程马拉松比赛。一只猎犬因在比赛中名列前十，一跃成为当之无愧的“网络红人”。

Ludivine, a bloodhound, lives nearby and after her owners let her out to relieve herself, she decided to join the race and ended up running the entire 13.1 miles.

这只名叫露德温的猎犬和她的主人就住在附近，主人放她出来方便时，她“心念一动”加入比赛，跑完了全程共13.1英里。

She competed without human or leash. "Her owner doesn't even run! That's what makes the story even better," race director Gretta Armstrong told CNN.

没人牵着露德温向前跑。此次比赛的策划人格里塔·阿姆斯特朗接受美国有线电视资讯网（CNN）采访时说道：“这只猎犬的主人连跑都没跑！这就使得这个故事更有意思了。”

April Hamlin, the pup's owner, told CNN she lives on a nearby farm and didn't know Ludivine joined the race until a friend called to tell her about her unsuspecting celebrity pet.
