For nine lucky puppies, Saturday morning meant time to stretch out their furry legs and run with members of the Chestatee High School cross country team. All of the dogs came from the Hall County Animal Shelter, and program director Cindy Langman was thankful to see them out of their cages. “This means so much to the dogs,” Langman said.
