A Dog's Life: Riding the Bus to Dog Day Camp

MIAMI — (AP) The yellow school bus makes its rounds, picking up one eager passenger after another en route to day camp. Small legs quickly climb the stairs, heads pop out of bus windows and excitement rises. Each of these day campers has four legs and a tail and many wag those tails rapidly as the “Doggie Bus” pulls up at a southwest Miami camp created just for canines — Totally Dog.
Dog trainer Elena Sweet says she opened Totally Dog in 1999 as a peaceful getaway for dogs to run free, socialize and beat urban stress. Husband Jeremy drives the bus and dogs bound off into a bone-shaped wading pool, then romp at play. Owners pay about $45 a day for camp. Kenny Reich says his three pooches go right to sleep after camp — a sure sign they had a doggone “great time.”

I would love to send my dogs to doggie camp! But I’d want to go along with them and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t let me ! lol
What a cool idea. We love it.. Do they have to take their own lunches too?

That’s an awesome idea!
Now that is cool! Sign me up
sign the booker man up!!!
Bunny’s hoping the bus is coming past our house now! That would be one awesome job!
I can’t believe that little dog just jumping on the bus. I couldn’t get my kids to do that when they went to Kindergarten.
You can see the huge smiles on those dogs!
WOW ! that’s fantastic idea “Doggie Bus”.I think it should be the front page news heading.
Does that navy blue collar have NIGEL written on it?
I have so many questions! I am curous about how many campers there are and how many days a week they go and HOW do they all ride peacefully on the bus! No one running in the aisles?
