trailing

the pursuit (of a person or animal) by following tracks or marks they left behind

to lag or linger behind

But in so many other areas we still are dragging

go after with the intent to catch

The policeman chased the mugger down the alley

move, proceed, or walk draggingly or slowly

John trailed behind his class mates

hang down so as to drag along the ground

The bride's veiled trailed along the ground
