When I first read about a harness that dogs wear to pull their owners on scooters, I thought "that's crazy, but wait, why does that look insanely fun?!" Then I immediately felt sorry for the dogs and realized that my pooch wouldn't make it around the block pulling moi (she's getting older and a horse and carriage she is not). What do you think of this funny new trend ...
I read about a kind of funny new thing on FitCeleb recently: dog-powered scooters. While a jog with your dog (even a walk!) is great exercise, a newish harness device from DogPoweredScooters.com probably doesn't really count as exercise, since, well, your dog is doing all the work! Fans say it's lots of fun, but at least a few critics have concerns about people and doggie safety with these things.
The company is quick to point out the obvious about their product, for instance: It's best to wear a helmet (although the happy family pictured above aren't wearing helmets, hmmm), gloves, knee pads, and only to use the harness with dogs over 35 lbs.
Hmm--I'm on the fence here. You decide: Is this dog torture or lots of fun for you and your pooch?
P.S. OMG--would you ever do yoga with your dog? It's a real thing! It's called Doga! And, you love your dog, right? But would you give him mouth-to-mouth CPR?
