How does a dog run? Until now even experts found it nearly impossible to answer this simple sounding question. "We simply didn't know", says Professor Dr. Martin S. Fischer from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany). Surely: A dog moves on four legs, in pacing, trotting or galloping. But so far even the Jena scientist could only guess at the exact motion sequence within the locomotor system.
