What happens when tiny legs meet an enormous heart?

Meet Jellybean — all 9 pounds of pure determination. This Chihuahua from Davis, California has already finished 6 marathons, leaving countless humans in her dust.

Her personal record? 3 hours and 47 minutes at the Garmin Kansas City Marathon. That's faster than most marathon finishers worldwide.
