Is this a thing now? I just saw some people with something like this for their dog. Why can't the dog jump?

Eh. I only had to lift mine into the truck a couple of times before he figured it out.
But he actually loves riding in the truck. That's number one on his favorite activities, ahead of tennis ball retrieval and chasing small animals. If I make three consecutive steps toward the truck, he runs over to the passenger door and sits down, waiting for me to open the door for him and tell him "hop in." |

When my Lab was young and strong, she would jump into the bed of my truck to go for a ride.
When she was around ten years old, she became a little arthritic and could no longer manage it, so I would pick her up and put her in the back... and then be covered with yellow hair. Dog steps are intended for older dogs. If they had them back then, I would have bought one. Dogs ask very little from us except the occasional chance to get their nose in the wind. |
