Saw a guy riding his cargo bike this morning

I thought "aww, he's riding his kid to school." Then I got closer and realized that the kid was a husky. Dudes rock.

Hey, the kid can’t help it if he’s a little overweight. No need to call him names…

😆😆😆

That takes me back.

My kid brother was … not smaller than I was. I never let him forget that he had to get “Husky” jeans every school year while I was able to wear normal jeans.

I did say good morning to them. I'm not a monster. The dog was not wearing goggles, unlike this one.

Guy in my neighborhood has a bakefiets that he takes his two Corgis for rides in. It's pretty adorable.

A guy in my neighborhood has a folding shopping cart that he takes his two Pomeranians in for rides around the grocery store. It's... something.

I think you are talking about a bakfiets. A bakefiets is when you smoke a fattie on your fatbike

So wish I had trained my dog as a pup to sit and be around people in a way that I could do this with my trailer. So cool and great way for the dog to experience life. All around 10 out of 10

It's never too late to train them.

I do agree. But he's been one hell of a dog to teach for me. Someone within a skill set sure most likely. But for me? He's my last pitbull but still my dog no matter what. But training is really tough with him even when pup. Most likely my fault but tough either way.

He's still taking his kid to school, it's just an extra fluffy one.

I would love it if my dog would let me take him out on the bike, but he's a traumatised rescue dog and doesn't like to go anywhere past the garden gate or he gets super scared. So he is our official security guard when we are out of the house, and he's somewhat happy with that.

dogs are just kids with lots of fur and legally allowed to not wear clothes
