My maltese Buster selling a pet stroller on eBay!
It won't even walk and you have to push it around in a stroller. Or maybe it's just the surrogate-kids thing. A Brooklyn paper (actually The Brooklyn Paper) reports on the newest trend in over-the-top pet care: dogs on wheels.
“It is unbelievable how many people stop me and think I am pushing a baby,” said Annie Carnes, who strollers “Shadow,” her Toy Yorkie, around Bay Ridge in her customized puppy stroller.


“People stop me every five minutes — sometimes they even stop their car and get out to look for themselves at my dog stroller.”


Carnes, who paid $200 for the stroller, wasn’t planning on purchasing the canine cruiser until Shadow jumped into a display model at Posh Pets at 9540 Fourth Ave., and has barely jumped out since.


“It was worth every penny,” Carnes said. “Shadow lets me know when he has to do his business and he jumps right out. He also lets me know when he gets tired and he jumps back in, he is a very smart dog.”

Dear Brian, How awesome is this? We use our top end dog stroller (with shock absorbers) at rescue related events. Our rescue is of the senior and special needs pug dogs who actually really need to network but cannot actually do the footwork. Thank you for this opportunity to share. Regards, Irene

This is fantastic. New Yorkers are well-known for their zealousness in doggie-care, perhaps as a sort of guilt reaction to keeping them in 300-square-foot apartments. Several of my friends in the city are dog owners, though none use strollers, preferring to let the dog get some exercise in the urban jungle.

Having a stroller meant that when I wasn't supposed to walk for weeks and weeks and weeks after having 2 knee surgeries, I was still able to go with Julie and do my job as a medical alert dog.  But I much prefer to walk when I can!
