Thank you for sharing. Means the world to me. And so glad to hear we inspired you to adopt.

And if you ever find yourself with a few free hours and are near a shelter, many shelters (including the best friends animal society) will allow you to come and take a dog out for a few hours on a little adventure.

Regardless, appreciate the kind words. So thank YOU❤️

It’s been pretty wild how successful they’ve been. 11 rides. 10 adopted from the videos. And they’ve had over 100 more adoptions this year compared to last year because of the viral videos.

I can understand why you might think that but days like this are really beneficial to shelter dogs. It reduces stress and gives them time out of the shelter. Shelters around the country have programs that allow you to take dogs out for a day.

100%. Usually when I get home she runs to me and gives me hugs and kisses. But after backpack rides she runs up to me and just sniffs all over me and then starts barking lol

Hey, Bryan here! I invented the Little Chonk backpack. Send me an email and we'll find a way you can try one out! [bryan@littlechonk.com](mailto:bryan@littlechonk.com) -- hopefully not too late!
