An elderly dog is capturing hearts after one devoted pet owner shared how they've found a creative and eco-friendly way to keep their dog included in their daily adventures.
Posting to the subreddit r/ebikes, the user shared a short video showing their 12-year-old German Shepherd comfortably sitting in a trailer hitched to the back of an e-bike.
"He's my old man, but he still loves to go everywhere with me," they wrote.
The video shows the pair cruising through tree-lined streets as the pup looks on happily from his chariot.

Commuting by e-bike can save thousands of dollars a year compared to driving, as cyclists avoid gas, parking, and maintenance costs. With transportation responsible for over 16% of heat-trapping air pollution, switching from a car to an e-bike dramatically reduces your carbon impact while helping keep neighborhood air cleaner.
E-bikes also offer health benefits. They provide light exercise that can improve cardiovascular health and reduce stress. For pet owners, they're a fun, low-impact way to explore the outdoors together without relying on a car.
