When it comes to speed, the famous line from Top Gun, “I feel the need, the need for speed,” fits perfectly for this Sighthound. This incredible Lurcher’s run will leave you breathless, looking like it’s just seconds away from taking flight.
A video shared on May 10 shows the Lurcher running at a blistering pace, making other fast breeds like Vizslas, Border Collies, and Belgian Malinois appear to be moving in slow motion. This impressive run might make you rethink your ability to chase a dog this fast!
Effortless Speed
What’s even more amazing is how effortless the Lurcher makes this look. Built for speed, this dog lives its best life in an outdoor adventure, showcasing the beauty of athleticism and freedom. For pet parents, there’s no greater joy than watching a dog excel at what they were bred to do.

What Is a Lurcher?
Lurchers aren’t a recognized breed but rather a cross between a Greyhound and another Sighthound or Scenthound. While they are primarily used for hunting in the UK, Lurchers are less common in the U.S. They’re known for their athleticism, intelligence, and gentle personalities, making them cherished companions.
Fan Reactions
Fans on social media were quick to share their admiration. One viewer joked, “I’m not going to report this because it looks well taken care of, but just keep in mind that owning a cheetah is illegal in most states.” Another viewer commented, “You think that’s fast? You should see my Corgi when a crisp packet is opened!” One person even shared, “My Mastiff watched this video and went to take a nap.”
Whether you’re a fan of fast dogs, scenic runs, or just watching a dog fully in its element, this moment is pure joy. Here’s hoping to see more of this lightning-fast Lurcher in action, because when speed looks this smooth, it truly deserves a standing ovation.
