Tougher Than A Junkyard Dog
Here is Lydia, the person, with her namesake, Lydia, the dog. A week ago we did our most recent fifty mile in a day ride. Lydia dog is now a touch over six months old. She trotted along with us for forty of the fifty miles. (I kept her back for one ten mile circuit because we were going to ride by some bull dogs that might have wanted to establish a no fly zone over her.) The next day she joined my riders for a day of riding in the woods seeming as fresh as the day before.
Lydia dog is 50% boxer, 50% Coon Hound and 100% tough. (Lydia the person recently rode 98 miles in two days. She is no wimp either.)
