Cool idea out of Oregon -- Dog Powered Scooter They mate a high-end street scooter with a harness assembly for either one or two dogs. Looks well thought out and engineered. Here are two other photos -- the first is at rest and shows the position of the dog with the scooter. Note that the dog is a bit behind the person allowing the person to control the dog and allowing the dog to see what the person is doing. The second is the dog sitting, the design of the harness allows the dog to do this without changing the position of the scooter. The scooter looks awesome too -- it is made in Taiwan from a Dutch design. A bit pricey ($500 for the harness and scooter) but worth it if you are doing a lot of short hops in a city. We have a Siberian Husky that loves to run and these dogs work well in harness. When we were living in the city this would have been a lot of fun for all parties involved!
