A stray dog has completed a 1700km journey across China after joining a cycle race from Sichuan province to Tibet.

The dog, nicknamed "Xiaosa", joined the cyclists after one of them gave him food.

He ran with them for 20 days, covering up to 60km a day, and climbing 12 mountains.

Cyclist Xiao Yong started a blog about Xiaosa's adventures, which had attracted around 40,000 fans by the end of the race.

Yong now hopes to adopt Xiaosa.

See link for video of Xiaosa running.

He found his pack. They fed him, protected him, and even let him run out front.

Good friends are hard to find, but when you find them, running 1700km+ with them doesn't seem like a big deal.

I was thinking it would be some long leg dog. Sure looks happy.

That's pretty cool. I saw units in Afghanistan that adopted strays like that and those dogs would follow them into combat. Crazy!

I was trying to make up a joke about the dog being dinner, but it didnt happen, so just imagine I did.

Chinese democracy is two hungry cyclists and a homeless dog talking about how to satisfy their after-race hunger.

If China had animal control, all those bikers would have been arrested for doggy cruelty.
