The Bredell resident was pictured on the R23 towards High Road on Sunday, jogging with no fewer than
five large Bouviers – and one little dog, a dachshund.
He said his animals force him to take them for a run.
“They watch me with eagle eyes. The moment I get dressed they get anxious, so I have no option but to take them for a run,” he said.
Van der Hoven said he goes for two runs a week, each about 11km long.
When the City Times took the photo, Van der Hoven asked whether the dachshund had made it into the shot.
