Vintage kludge.Too bad it probably doesn’t work.
No! It is working! Can’t you see??? It’s just a different technology from this we use now…. It’s a 6dp car (dog power)
I bet that guy turns left an aweful lot, whether or not he wants to.
This belongs in WTF.
If those are female dogs, it could even belong in hawtness? Wait .. no .. that doesn’t work …
What are the casters for on the board the dogs area tied to?
First long board stakeboard!
“Slush!” … no, that’s not it… “Hush!” … no, that’s not right either. Dang, what is it? “Squirrel!” Ahh, there we go.
Is he taking the dogs out for a walk or are the dogs taking the car out for a spin ?
Given that they’re only on one side, isn’t that what they’d do–assuming they could move the car at all–just spin. Got to be a dog “walker”.
BTW, this actually looks more like an automated dog walker. (pun definitely intended…)
Bonus points if you use Tennessee Walker Hounds!
Just so long as they aren’t greyhounds…
Instead of yelling “Mush!”, he just has to honk the horn.
back in the day, adding 6 dogpower was a performance improvement on those old Chevies
walk the dog… screw the pooch… same thing
Made me smirk.
an real old O.G out with his bitches!
Science has really gone to the dogs…
This replaces the Horse power rating scale. He has a 6 bow wow power engine
Gets 20 fire hydrants to the bone.
Jack London had a change of heart in his later years.
Here we see a gang of criminals plotting against road services. On the photo we see them stealing a rumble strip.
In Soviet Russia, dogs walk you.
One can’t poo poo this idea if the Chevy can’t make it to the levy under it’s own power.
sing it with me: We’ve hauled some Chevys in our day, filled with lead and coal and hay. And we know every inch of they way! 15 miles on the Erie Canal Road!
You know how it is with these A-cards.
this is a pretty obscure reference… not many people will get it.
in World War II, gasoline was rationed. The A-card would limit you to the least amount of gas. Very nice reference, just not a lot of people get it anymore.
Doesn’t Bugs Bunny say that when his plane runs out of gas preventing him from crashing into the ground at the last minute (gotta love cartoon physics
?
Yeah, I remember that episode. cartoon physics rule.
Or for those on a budget…

I have a dog-powered bicycle of the modern type: http://www.bikewithmydog.com/images/Springer1.jpg My last service dog would run 3 miles flat out and I would only have to pedal the last little bit home. I’m now training my new dog to use it so I don’t have to drive everywhere. An excellent way to burn off excess energy and save fuel.
The kludge above is an excellent idea except that the dogs should be wearing harnesses instead of collars. If one of the dogs should trip, they would be more likely to suffer severe neck/back injury. Otherwise, they look like they are having a great time.
Now you see, there was a great deal of evolution that led to today’s spare tire. I hope you appreciate that.
Where’s PETA when you need them? Oh, right, they’re too busy taking nude pictures of Pamela Anderson to protest real animal cruelty
If I had the choice I would be taking pictures of Pamela Anderson as well.
Iditarod – ur doin it wrong
Darn it, Spot! Don’t look that way at me! I couldn’t afford the horses in this depression! Now MUSH!
This was a vast improvement over the first attempt to fuel the truck with dog.
“Doc, it was all working so well until the pack spotted that female poodle in heat.”
Eric Einstein wasn’t into all that math, he preferred “low tech” inventions, much to the dismay of his more famous brother.
This is the way sled dogs are ‘parked’ between being gotten out of the vehicle and hooked up to the sled. They still do it the same way at Iditarod.
Brings a new meaning to Hybrid, or is it Hybreed?
Behold the most fuel-efficient Trabant constructed.
In this slide, we see how the dog-walking profession was modernized with mass-production techniques.
I’ve seen this done with a Volvo 245 and a pack of huskies in front. Those dogs were definitely pulling the car. The engine was off.
MUSH! MUSH, I SAY!
It looks like the guy is training his dogs to pull sleds
Does anyone actually know what car that is?
