There’s probably only one time in his life when Reas finished last. That’s when he was the final puppy in a litter of five to go to his new home three years ago.

That was obviously not his doing. Four other owners passed over him for various reasons.

And now the muscular, 51-pound Whippet, owned by Lindsay Gluth and Matt Manetti, of Michigan City, Indiana, is America’s No. 1 speed demon once again after winning the 2022 Fastest Dogs USA, which aired on ABC on September 25, 2022.

Reas was competing to keep his crown as he also won the Fast CAT competition in 2021 as well as the American Kennel Club’s Fast CAT Invitational in Florida later that year. To put it in perspective, winning back-to-back events of their magnitude is akin to coming out on top in two consecutive Super Bowls, World Series, Stanley Cups, etc. You get the idea!
