English Bulldog Prefers Stroller Rides Over Walks

Heather Garvin, a resident of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has a fun companion for her outdoor adventures: Gus, her three-year-old English bulldog. While many dogs eagerly await walks, Gus has a different preference – he can’t contain his excitement for stroller rides.

Each time Garvin prepares Gus for an outing, the enthusiastic pup heads straight for the stroller, bypassing the need for a leash and walking shoes. Garvin recounts how Gus’s love for stroller rides became evident during their walks around the neighborhood. Initially starting on foot, Gus swiftly found his way into the stroller’s basket, preferring the cozy ride over walking.

Despite Gus’s preference for stroller rides, Garvin ensures he stays active with playtime in the yard and occasional short walks. However, Gus has cleverly figured out that when it’s a long trip, the stroller offers the perfect solution to enjoy the outdoors without the need for exertion.
