The poor-man's Segway
These are thousand dollars cheaper than the Segway, but even dorkier looking. See for yourself.
It's a scooter that is pulled by dogs.

I'm not sure what the point of this is. It probably annoys the dog and it doesn't get you much exercise.
I guess it's good for really lazy people who have dogs that like to pull things. Some dogs do in fact enjoy that. Or they're genetically complelled to do it. My sister has a Samoyed and she assures me the dog loves yanking sleds around.
Maybe I'll get one for my dog. I wonder how many seconds it will take before he pulls me right over a cliff.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
