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).

These dogs featured may not be as fast as their paw-rents, but they make up for it in ball-chasing, treat-eating and affection.
