These dogs have them! My 10-month old Bernedoodle shows his mostly when he’s sprinting on grass! Running with other dogs or approaching the dog park will do it. We use a hammock in our back car seat for him so he can safely hang his head out of the window. That does it too!

I have a really smart boss who takes the time to actually teach new coding methods, automations and visualization techniques. Before doing so, he’ll say, ‘this is gonna be a ‘fun’ meeting!

I gotta say that zoomies from a 10-month old, 105 pound pup are, uh, ‘fun’!

He’s over 105 pounds so we want him to run at dog speed as much as possible, for his joint and general health.

I’m glad for these dogs who have thankfully found great places to be!

I'm not sure that the dogs would like the green carpet though. I would think they'd prefer real grass, but maybe it isn't possible to keep the grass cut in these little pens. Nice video!

This might be a better arrangement for some elderly people, and other humans who have problems in living and usually get warehoused in large dormitories. Dogs are always teaching us something.
