First response and seems OK if you ask me. I watched the same programme and they said that a Police Dog can do 30MPH, so its plausible, though someone else will have to work out the maths - I am just to thick....

Not far off id say that Bolt fella can do 100m in 8 or something? im sure a greyhound could catch him if he had a dead rabbit around his waist.
Even if correct or not, even Bolt will struggle to out run a dog, though he might get the lead on a 100m sprint. Unfortunately the fastest man in the world cannot keep this up for long and the dog will get him anyway. So if Bolt is screwed then that pretty much eliminates 99.9999% of the human race. Game over...off_again said:

30 mph = 48kph. At 48 kph you will cover 1km in 75 seconds, so 100M in 7.5 seconds. Quick, but not as quick as claimed!!http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_fast_can_a_dog_run

Well a glance at the greyhound form states the average time around the 470m Belle vue track as just under 30 seconds.
So 15m/s would be a good estimate.
When you take into acount the curvature of the track, the fact dogs can take rubbish lines and the initially acceleration from the trap, they are damned quick.
ETA: That's an average of 33mph according to google.

so 4 secs for a big gsh is pretty much rubbish then, saying that would not fancy one of those police dogs on my case, one bloke on there last night had a nicely chewed arm for his trouble.
4 seconds to 100 metres?If professionally trained and bred greyhounds only manage 60 metres in 4 seconds I think you can safely say it's complete bks.
