Running two miles on the playground isn’t a fun thing to do for most students. But students in Miss Brown’s class at Mark Twain School in the USA gladly put on their running shoes. They wanted to raise money to help a dog in need.

Miss Brown told her students about Peter, a dog who had a hard start in life. At less than a year old, Peter’s owners found out that he was not healthy. Something was wrong with his body.
