"And they are being chased by a dog out there," one of the commentators announced when the dog bounded happily onto the snowy course. "Unbelievable!"

Fortunately, the dog didn't seem to have much of an effect on the race and no one was injured from the unexpected entrant. What we're left with is the undeniable fact that dogs are simply the best.
