Couple Constructs A Dog Train To Carry All Their Rescue Doggos On The Most Adorable Adventurous Spree
It’s not just humans that can have fun; animals can too. Every Friday evening, not long before sunset, the commotion of traffic on the streets around Lehigh Acres, Florida, gives way to a sound that is undeniably satisfying: the lively chorus of joyous dogs having a good time.
At this time, like clockwork, a train full of dogs appears on the streets to brighten the days of its fuzzy travelers. After years of operating an animal rescue shelter in Costa Rica, Alice Johnston and her partner, Paul, relocated to Lehigh Acres about eight years ago.
However, they didn't migrate alone. They also brought along more than a dozen dogs under their care, all of whom had been rescued from the streets.
Currently, in the suburbs, the Johnstons decided to get innovative. They built a train to accommodate all their dogs and take them on rides.
Alice Johnston explains that they have so many dogs that, obviously, they were unable to walk them all or fit them in a vehicle to enjoy outings together. So, she and her significant other built a train with the goal of taking them all out and cruising around the area.
Her husband pulls the train with a lawnmower, while Alice rides a small bike behind him to keep an eye on things and ensure their safety.
The happy pack is an incredible sight.
The couple drew inspiration for the Wonderland Express, as it is called, from a Texas man who built a dog train for his own rescued dogs. Furthermore, the Johnstons' dogs absolutely love their train rides.
Happy times
Johnston testified that their dogs get so excited about going on train rides, and they truly enjoy it. They know when Friday arrives better than we do, and it's astonishing how they know.
But then again, it’s not only the dogs that are excited about their weekly trips.
Here's the video below
Alice mentions that there are individuals who wait patiently for them to pass by on the street. She even adds that some people come out to give treats to the dogs, which they thoroughly enjoy.
Hello, you!
You will agree with me that the Johnstons definitely stand out, and they put all the attention the train receives to excellent use. Alice says that her husband has signs all over the train that encourage people to adopt and not shop.
Let's all go for a ride...
She also added that there are numerous homeless animals, and they make great pets. Anything they can do to encourage people to give these dogs a chance, the Johnstons are more than happy to do.
The Johnstons' aim is not to publicize their Wonderland Express dog train, but they are pleased that people always want to see it.
For them, everything revolves around their dogs' happiness and spreading the message about the joy that comes with adoption. It brings the Johnstons great joy to know that dogs are getting another opportunity to have a home of their own.
Furthermore, it truly gives them—and us—fulfillment to know that these homeless dogs are given a new life.
