The bus that all dog lovers dream of . A means of transport designed and organized just for them, to take them for walks in company and always cared for. Images of the service, operating in a small town in the US state of Alaska , Skagway, have gone around the world thanks to social media, and now someone is thinking of introducing it in Italy as well.

The service is called Mo Mountain Mutty and is run by a couple, Mo and Lee Thompson: they've always raised dogs and, at a certain point in their lives, turned this passion for animals into a profession. " For us, it's a dream; it's like having the best job in the world. Having fun with dogs, spending time with them, and getting paid for it on top of that... " Mo said in an interview with CNN.

The service works very simply. Dogs are picked up from their homes and placed on the bus, one per seat, with their seatbelts fastened . At a moderate speed and without jolts, the dogs are taken to outdoor areas, where they can play together in complete freedom. Then, after a few hours, they are taken home, but not before a snack break provided by Mo and Lee. The service is obviously reserved for the most docile dogs, those able to socialize with their own kind, without a leash. Every day, Mo and Lee manage to transport between 20 and 40 dogs.
