Here's why:
* Top Speed: Tigers can reach speeds of up to 40 mph (64 km/h) in short bursts, while German Shepherds can reach speeds of around 30 mph (48 km/h).
* Built for Speed: Tigers have powerful legs and a streamlined body built for short sprints. German Shepherds are athletic and agile, but their build is more suited for endurance and agility.
While a German Shepherd might be faster in a short distance, a tiger's speed and power would easily overtake it in a longer chase.
