The akita can outrun an adult lion...... I don't know about the preceding point but it seems highly unlikely, my Akita can outrun any human (obviously!) but compared to other dogs is probably one of the slower breeds; heavy muscle and bone does not a fast dog make. My friend owns a deer hound and a lurcher and my sister owns a mini-spitz, all 3 make my Akita look very slow indeed.

Walking slow lowers risk mortality than walking fast as according to Wikipedia.
Eventually slow running turns into walking. All animals can do that.
