Ona weighs just six pounds and is only six inches tall. In the last six years, she has completed nearly 50 races. Her average pace in the 5k runs is just over an eight-minute mile. Her owner, Jeff Jones, is a California Highway Patrolman and a runner himself. He used to take Ona hiking and realized that she was very high-energy.
The duo signed up for their first 5k in 2016. Jones wasn't sure how Ona would do, but when he tried to give her a water break halfway through, she refused and kept running. She's incredibly focused when she's running. The older she gets, the faster she's running, so they aren't giving up any time soon. | | | Image courtesy of Dogster. | | Recipe: Do(g)-It-Yourself Frozen Fruit Popsicles for Dog

- Add a fruit layer to the bottom layer, and then add yogurt to the top.
- Continue with another layer of fruit and top off with yogurt. Ingredients should fill your cup about ¼ of the way full.

A recent study conducted by the Dog Aging Product (DAP) determined that having another dog in the household had a five times stronger effect on a dog's health than other factors, like financial and household stability. Social environment components greatly impact the dog's health and lifespan.
The study used data from 21,210 dogs, both purebred and mixed-breed. It also showed that dogs in homes without children and dogs with older owners were healthier than their counterparts in different households.
