Since dogs were wild they had muscular back legs and great agility to hunt and this also gave them speed to catch their prey. Since the dog has four legs and uses the rear legs to push forward this is something they have that humans will never have.

During time the dog was more domesticated and some breeds are not fast at all, while others run like the wind so it depends on the breed.

Also dogs run faster because they cover more ground on four legs than humans do on two legs.

also, dogs have a type of running position with they're stance.

Dogs can run fast because they have four legs. Their legs are supported by strong bones and muscles to help them increase their speed.

Yes, the dogs in the old days were used to catch prey that hunters killed. They have big thigh muscles to push themselves.
