She ran 19 miles with the puppy and that was just the beginning ❤BY STEPHEN MESSENGER
Khemjira Klongsanun is a running enthusiast from Bangkok, Thailand.
Though she enjoys racing in competitions, Klongsanun knows some things are more important than setting a record time.
Last week, Klongsanun was participating in a local marathon when something caught her eye. There, about 7 miles into the 26-mile run, she spotted a tiny puppy on the roadside with no owner or mother in sight.
Rather than continue on her way and leave the little dog to face the world alone, Klongsanun decided to briefly put the race on hold. She stopped and scooped the helpless puppy into her arms.
But then she did so much more.
For the next 19 miles, Klongsanun carried the puppy as she ran.
She was now safe and in good hands.

Every rescue dog has a story of when their life changed for the better but few, perhaps, are as memorable as Nong Chom's. And though there's no telling how much time Klongsanun lost in the race that day due to the pup, such details matter little compared to the lifetime of love that now lies ahead.
