Running with your dog is a great, fun workout. You don’t just get to spend quality time with your pet, but you’ll also be able to burn more calories than your usual jog as you’ll have to be able to match your pup’s pace. This was the idea behind Pet Express’ Doggie Run, an annual event that celebrates our dogs’ fitness. This year’s run was definitely bigger than the ones held in the past two years, as hundreds of pooches of all breeds and sizes gathered at the SM Mall of Asia on the morning of March 23 to participate in the race.
