Chunky bulldog named Rudy stuns crowd with his speed at Westminster Dog Show

A chunky bulldog named Rudy stunned crowds with his impressive speed during the agility competition at a dog show.

Rudy the bulldog took part in the Westminster Kennel Club’s competition over the weekend completing an obstacle course in 46.63 seconds.

In the video, Rudy can be seen flying through tunnels and jumping over seesaws as he completes the course with ease despite his chunky stature.

He only veered slightly off course at one point. Although he did not win the competition in New York, he was praised on social media for his agility.
