First panel: [blank white space with black text] Jogging from the perspective of animals
Second panel: Wolf by a tree looking at a man jogging. "What are you running from, apex predator"
Third panel: Wolf: "Are you chasing prey?" "You need to conserve energy"
Last panel: [second wolf peeking in] "The hell is that guy doing" [first wolf] "I don't know. I don't understand"

Yeah, and border collies or huskies would also be like: "Running! Yeah!"
OP: of course an animal would find a human running with neither predator nor prey to be simply ludicrous!
Dog: I like running
Don't horses also like to run?
Probably, what am I, a vet?
Yes, now hurry up, these anal glands aren't going to express themselves.
Yes. Horses, dogs/wolves and people are the three land animals that are really weird in that they aren't necessarily apex predators, but due to circumstance or evolution we've somehow stepped outside the natural flow which has resulted in us having a wide potential of diet, excess time and energy to spare due to lack of serious predators (yet) and luckily enough we've come to be more collaborative than competitive when it counts
