You beat me to it, I was fixin my thoughts to ask the same question!!
BUT to add to it-- how common is it to have a dog that will nip a runner to "make it stop" runnin?
I have seen hogs smoke a dog especially in thick stuff! So its my opinion if that dog don't catch him in the first couple jumps...the dogs will catch him again when he decides to stop for a breather or finds a comfortable place to stand and fight!
