I got an email today from the webmaster of this website:

http://www.dogpoweredscooter.com/

He's looking for a link exchange. Anway, I saw Diane walking around town with Nikki the other day, and after I saw this I coud just picture her "riding" around town with Nikki.

Anyway, I thought it was kind of a novel idea.

From the website:
"You give a kick or two to help get the scooter going, then it only takes 10 to 20 pounds of pressure for the dog to keep it rolling along," he said. "It's nothing for these dogs to keep it at speed because, on wheels, the scooter has a very low rolling resistance. i've measured the pull on pavement with a 175 lb person on the scooter and its only 4-7 lbs.!"

Hey Mark! I have seen this before! Here is another link... http://www.dogscooter.com/
I think that the reason I found this site is because someone with a Doodle was doing it and wrote to a forum about it...said their dood loved the sport!
(Caution: Please only large enough dogs, and only dogs over 18 months.)
