Dog Buys Boat for Summer

Dog Buys Boat for Summer

by Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent

When warm weather hits, most dogs are content with some fresh water and air conditioning.

Not Ollie.

Faced with yet another boring summer, the pup finally broke down and bought what he always said he’d buy – his very own boat.

“Yeah, he’s been mentioning it for years,” says Brent Milligan, a friend. “I never thought he’d actually do it.”

Furnished with doggie necessities, the vessel boasts a 25 hp engine, bucket seats and built-in GPS. There was one thing it didn’t include, however – a driver.

“That’s the thing with boats, unfortunately,” says Milligan. “He’s going to be really disappointed once he finds out.”

Cat’s Rapid Transit System Could Reduce Dependency on Fossil Fuels

Dr. Boots, a researcher and cat at MIT, has unveiled what energy industry experts are calling a “game changer.”

“Imagine a transit system completely independent of gasoline,” says Ashley Moore, a writer who covers energy matters for The Washington Post. “Well, yes, I suppose Tesla is doing that too. But, Dr. Boots’ system is powered by dogs.”

Hop on a dog at any Canine Docking Station and ride it to your destination. Drop the dog off at the receiving end and go about your business. No gas, no parking, no hassle.

“I suppose only cats and other small animals would really be able to take advantage of a system like this,” admits Moore. “And you’ll need an awful lot of dog food to power it, which ultimately requires fossil fuels to produce. But – yeah, I guess it’s not really that great after all."
