It turns out you don't need to be human to run with the St. Joseph's Cross Country team.

Recently, the California team took shelter dogs out on a run with them, and the result was a whole new level of adorable.

The event was a true win-win, since the dogs were able to get the exercise they need for their health, and the exposure that would help them get noticed and adopted.

Plus, the pups got a chance to get out and socialize!

Not to mention, the athletes who were hanging out with the dogs were able to get in the practice they needed... with a little extra dose of cuteness.

All the dogs who raced are from the Santa Barbara Animal Shelter, and they are all up for adoption.

Hopefully, this heartwarming race will catch on all over the place.

After all, these pups make the best running buddies ever, even when they need a little help!
