This is the comedic moment that a large yellow dog unexpectedly entered the race during the Tianjin Marathon, amusing spectators by following closely behind the top three runners.

On October 19, 2024, in Tianjin, China, the video captured the leaders, three African runners, had just surged ahead.

As they passed, the yellow dog burst onto the course, tail wagging enthusiastically, and began running along, effectively positioning itself as the unofficial fourth runner.

This unexpected participant did not just provide entertainment but also lightened the intense atmosphere of the marathon.

The race concluded without any issues, with the dog safely removed from the track shortly after its brief moment of fame.
