About David
David Hill, "The Chicago Dog Runner", hatched the idea
for a business after two years of running his high energy
dog Flynn. Found at the PAWS no-kill animal shelter
here in Chicago, Flynn had twice been rejected by potential
adopters due to his fear aggression and extreme
excitability. This border collie mix had been abandoned
at a young age and most probably abused.
David brought Flynn along on his marathon training runs
and started to notice his neurotic tendencies changing for
the better. Over time, seeing how much calmer and
relaxed the dog was after running, David knew other
canines could benefit.
Growing up around his father's veterinary practice, he
developed a strong bond with dogs at an early age. David is
a graduate of Texas A&M University and originally from San
Antonio. He has run 8 marathons & 15 ultra marathons,
including the 2009 Javelina Jundred 100-mile desert trail
race.
