The problem of homeless animals is one of the most pressing in the modern world. New Zealand decided to come up with a creative approach to its solution and launched a new social project, the purpose of which is to remind people that mongrels are no worse than purebred dogs, and therefore also deserve love and care. Members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have taken an unusual step: they taught three mongrels to drive a carto show how smart these animals are.
The dog driving course was initiated by Community Director, Christina Kalin, and the training program was led by trainer Mark Watt. The dog show was broadcast on the central New Zealand television.
It took the puppies eight weeks to learn how to turn the steering wheel. Of course, they did not become avid chauffeurs, but they learned to drive a short distance in a real car. Initially, the dogs mastered wooden carts equipped with gas and brake pedals and a steering wheel.
The trainer managed to train the dogs to control the steering wheel, to do various actions with the right and left paws. Christina Kalin, the organizer of the project, noted that many people treat mongrels as second class animals, although their abilities are simply fantastic. Dogs can be trained in any tricks, they will become real friends for those who decide to take them into their home.
By the way, creative projects aimed at solving the problem of homeless animals appear from time to time in different countries of the world. So, on our website Kulturologiya.ru we have already written about the Korean Dog Cafe, which has become a shelter for mongrels from the surrounding area.
