This fantastic story of a retired greyhound who heard the roar of the crowd and took off racing around an English soccer stadium, much to the delight of the assembled crowd, shows that excellence and the spirit of winning are part of beings who carry them long after the heat of competition has faded.
Little doggie, every aging racehorse, fading beauty queen, former football hero and doddering Olympian salutes you!

A RETIRED greyhound disrupted a professional soccer game in England when the floodlights and crowd noise brought back memories of her racing days.
Fool's Mile escaped from owner Jane Holland and ran four circuits of the pitch, halting play between Blackpool Reserves and Burnley Reserves and prompting a standing ovation from spectators.
Holland said the five-year-old greyhound with 11 wins to her name appeared to be reliving her glory days.
"It was as if all her old instincts had come back," Holland told Britain's The Sunday Telegraph newspaper.
"We were nearby and when she heard the crowd she was off."
