    I doubt this is a means of travel or existing for the owner’s benefit. Some dogs just have more energy than their owner is capable of keeping up with, and they’ve been bred to have a high-energy job, so the best thing they can do is be given work to do, like pulling their human around.

    It’s that or walking them while they choke themselves out on a leash because their human is too slow, and destroy things in the house because they have no outlet.

      I doubt this contraption is cheap. I’ve had dogs like this but I’ve had the privilege of having a large yard or living close to a park. Idk it’s ok if you like it, I don’t.

        I live near a park, but I still have to keep my dogs leashed, so her exercise is limited to what my knees can take in a day (we already walk them 9km a day). I have a 3 year old rescue that produces more energy than the core of a star. This would be amazing for her.
