Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Remember the good ol’ days of dogs sleds and sheep herding? You know when pets actually worked for their dinner? Mark Schuette, a designer in Bend, Oregon, has come up with a way for your dog to get a work out while you get a free ride. His “dog powered scooter” combines a scooter with a padded pulling harness that fits around your hound’s shoulders and is connected to the scooter’s foot plate. The dog runs slightly behind and to the side of you, providing you with good steering and braking control (aka no veering off the path and into a tree when Fido sees a squirrel). Schuette recommends only using the scooter with dogs larger than 40 pounds. The basic single dog scooter costs $290.
