[The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind] And, she's off!

Aww... Here's a cool story about a racing pooch taking a victory lap after being caught in a moment of nostalgia.

A RETIRED greyhound disrupted a professional soccer game in England when the floodlights and crowd noise brought back memories of her racing days.

Fool's Mile escaped from owner Jane Holland and ran four circuits of the pitch, halting play between Blackpool Reserves and Burnley Reserves and prompting a standing ovation from spectators.

Holland said the five-year-old greyhound with 11 wins to her name appeared to be reliving her glory days.

"It was as if all her old instincts had come back," Holland told Britain's The Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

"We were nearby and when she heard the crowd she was off."
