DUBAI - When organisers of the 2009 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon said the event was open to the whole family, they were not just talking about humans.
The Foote family of Gary, Jennifer and their three children Rhianna, Michael and Corynn turned up in full force for the 3km charity fun run.
But there was a special member and arguably the fittest of the lot-their two-year-old Golden Retriever, Angus.
“He probably runs the furthest in the mornings,'' said Jennifer. “I entered everybody as we wanted to run as a family.
We had a good time and it was nice to see so many people. It's a good team-building event.'' The playful canine later proudly showed off his medal for completing the course – the only competitor to do it on all fours. RA
