A race between two or more animals can be a stressful affair. For example, horse races are known for their speed and intensity.

However, the race between the two animals in this video is a more relaxed affair, with one participant, in particular, capturing the hearts of all viewers!

A Fun Race

At an outdoor event, a race is organized between two dogs. However, these aren’t your typical greyhounds but rather Basset Hounds.

These adorable and affectionate dogs with their long ears and short legs aren’t known for being the fastest sprinters among the canine world.

Perhaps it’s this very fact that makes the race between the two dogs so endearing!

Upon the starting signal, one of the dogs sprints off enthusiastically, reaching the finish line in no time to the cheers of the crowd.

The second dog, on the other hand, takes a more leisurely and relaxed approach to the entire race.

The Winner of Hearts

The second racing dog doesn’t seem very keen to pick up the pace and hurry.

Instead, this pup leisurely strolls along the course, even greeting the spectators—or rather, their fans—along the way.

Eventually, with all the calm in the world, the adorable Basset Hound reaches its owner who’s been waiting at the finish line.

This dog might not be the most motivated or the fastest racer, but he certainly won over the hearts of everyone around!

The Most Relaxed Runner

Viewers on YouTube are charmed by this Basset Hound that exudes serenity and still manages to enchant them all.

One user, helenmedina2454, comments on the video:

“Perfection can’t be rushed.”

Another viewer, mostaccurate2614, makes a joke, saying:

“At least he came in second.”
