WS4LIF and I were walking down a street in NW Portland and we saw these in a store. Rediculous......

Wow, that just depresses me to see that sheer amount of laziness... Then you start thinking about how fast it could go with one of those tiny toy dogs on it!  Suddenly I'm reminded of National Lampoon with that leash tied to the rear bumper...

Yeah, me too.

You know, I've always wanted to get on a treadmill wearing rollerskate/rollerblades. Stupid, but intriguing.

                 
Hello, officer, what's the problem?

Get out of the car!

I don't think I was speeding.
Was I weaving or something?

Shut up, sir!

If I wasn't in uniform, I'd split your
skull with the butt of this revolver...

...faster than you could
say, "police brutality."

Officer, whatever it is I've done,
I'm sure I can explain.

Explain this, you son of a bitch.

Oh, my God!

Do you know what the penalty
for animal cruelty is in this state?

No, sir.

It's probably pretty stiff!

You can't think I'd do this on purpose?

I tied him to the rear bumper
when I was packing the car.

It was very confusing,
I must've forgotten.

I'm sorry. I feel terrible.

How do you think that little dog feels?

I'm sorry, it really was an accident.

I guess I can buy that, sir.

But it is a shame.

I had a dog like that when I was a kid.

Poor little guy.

He probably kept up with you
for a mile or so.

Tough little mutt.

Duckhunters and such do use those to train their dogs for endurance.  Its easyier than having them run around all over outside!  (atleast they had a big article on similar products in my hunting mag 2 months ago)

But yeah, the shop you saw it in is probably more geared towards the pet owner who wants to put it in the living room while they watch the tube.

Just glad I dont see some loop in front to chain your dog to it :P

I was going to say  "...only in Portland...." but they're from MI.

Only in Portland or Michigan.......

Go Buckeyes!

LOL. Ohio State!

 Dang, with that you could open your very own doggy gym.

Yeah. And stare through the window at those hot bitches on the treadmills!

So how many did you guys get?...


Two?

In the past I've seen dogtreadmills on animal cops. They are used alot for training dogs for dogfighting. In these cases they treated like parafinalia (not sure of my spelling, probably wrong but you get the piont), and they were charged as such.
