Simple answer but you won't like it:

Because they were given an opportunity to chase it, and they had fun chasing it. The same reason why they run away from you-- they think being chased is fun and game.

You need to TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. First, provide an environment that they cannot fail in (always leash, enclose, etc). If you give them any opportunity to fail (chase animals, cars, people), they will try, and learn that it's fun.

Secondly, you need to do obedience training. The "come" command is the most important one. It takes a LOT of time and efforts, but it pays off.

The other thing is you can wait till they're older 7-10 years old. That's what a lot of people will tell you. Total BS. There is no substitute for 1) providing an environment in which they cannot fail and 2) training training training.

Why do dogs chase their shadows?

Because dogs have something called 'prey drive', or in domesticated dogs, 'ball drive', an instinctual behaviour instilled in wild dogs to motivate them to catch their prey. because there's no need for prey drive any more (assuming you're feeding them...) they get the urge to chase various things, light happens to be a challenge for them to chase (just like balls, cars and even shadows or people sometimes).

Why do cats run away from dogs?

Not all dogs chase cats, but there are several reasons why a dog would chase a cat. Cats that are let outside usually roam, as they have quite large territories. Dogs, that perceive the house they live in as their territory, might chase off a cat if the dog feels like its territory is being threatened. Some dogs have a higher "chase" drive than others, and will just chase animals smaller than themselves for no other reason than to chase it. These reasons do not mean that dogs hate cats. Dogs and cats living in the same household are often very friendly towards each other.
