Years ago my sister-in-laws mother was moving farms. She was a breeder of Cocker Spaniels. her stud male was called Copper as his coat was copper coloured when the light shone on him. I got to look after him while the new kennels were built and it was intended for him to be retired from breeding. He was overweight when he arrived by about 15Kg. He could walk about 100metres but i had to carry him back (just as well i was fit). I decided he needed to get fit so i started taking him for increased length walks and eventually runs. After three months he could go on a 5kilometre run with me and he could do it without too much stress. he got back to his proper weight and when he was picked up Phylis took one look at him and decided that if he wanted he could resume stud duties (which he did). He loved running and i made sure my brother-in-law took over the running duties with him. I hadn't realised until them how much dogs enjoy running and some seem to prefer it to walks. kai is an inspiration and a good jolt to my memories of Copper.
