Ran and Run tenses?!

Am i right in saying that the run in this extract should be ran in standard english?

''After losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have got away altogether if he had not unforunately run into a gooseberry net, and got caught by the large buttons on his jacket.''

If not, why?

PLEASE HELP

You're wrong. "If he had run " is past perfect tense, which uses the past participle of the main verb. Best regards, - A.
