Stray dog goes on 1,139-mile incredible journey

(CBS News) A white stray dog found his stride when he joined a group of long-distance cyclists in China and never left. The dog ran alongside the group for 24 days over 1,139 miles - and 10 mountains.

The dog, nicknamed "Xiaosa" or "Little Sa," began following the bikers on May 4 after a Chinese college student on the trip gave it food, according to China state television CCTV.

One of the cyclists says he intends to bring the inspirational canine home with him.

Watch the dog in action in the video above.
