Dog-Powered Scooter.

i think the extra bar is for another dog ..i believe it must be an error on their part for leaving it on/empty.

I thought the same thing, Ted; Great until a squirrel or rabbit crosses your path. Or another dog.

Whoa, Jenny, you need a reality check. Do you have any idea how much energy a big dog has? We could be harnessing that energy on treadmills. We'd rescue a lot of strays by using them in factories.

This is not horrible or severe. Stupid, maybe. Not great exercise for the human, and that extra bar on one side looks dangerous for people passing by.

I would love to see one of these going downhill, or some kid flying off when Rover sees a squirrel.

Anyhow, man was given dominion over the animals for just this sort of purpose.

These things would revolutionize personal transit -- just like the Segways did!

It's difficult to gauge the amount of seriousness in Jenny's post... Putting dogs to work is something men have done for a very long time.

In any case, Jenny, you made me chuckle. And if you are completely serious, that would make me laugh a lot harder.

It's actually a great idea to get your dog some exercise. Dogs have a lot more energy to spend than us poor humans, and most breeds will leave us in the dust. I know my blue healer does not get tired nearly as fast as I do.

This is a pretty clever idea.
