It’s the time of year to believe in magic, miracles and —- car-driving dogs???? Believe it!
SPCA Auckland (New Zealand) has come up with an incredible way to showcase the wonderful, eager and smart adoptable dogs waiting for their forever homes in shelters and rescues everywhere.
Two of the three dogs trained to drive a MINI Cooper have actually passed their driving tests! Gee, do they make driver’s licenses small enough to fit onto a dog tag?
“Driving a car actively demonstrates to potential rescue dog adopters that you can teach an old dog new tricks,” says Christine Kalin, SPCA Auckland CEO. “The dogs have achieved amazing things in eight short weeks of training, which really shows with the right environment just how much potential all dogs from the SPCA have as family pets.” (Hear, hear!)
What do I like best about this video? The secure seat harness the dogs are wearing, and all that encouragement and praise from the handler! I LOVE that kinda talk!
