Team Canada’s cutest dogs

In honour of National Puppy Day, we showcase some Canadian pro runners' cutest furry creatures

At Canadian Running, we love to celebrate our top Canadian athletes. Since March 23 is National Puppy Day, we established a list of Team Canada’s cutest pups to give you an overdose of cuteness. Today, we celebrate the unconditional love and joy these paw-some creatures bring us after a personal best or a hard training day (or even a bad race).
