Some of the little dogs are surprisingly quite fast for a short distance as they were bred to chase down rodents and kill them in bunches (some terriers can kill several rats in one minute). This one only caught me because I was going up a fairly steep hill while she was cutting across in a relatively flat path. There were only about 15 feet between the front door and the road which she covered very fast.
