Man builds a kayak to take his dogs on adventures

What’s a hobby if your best friend can’t join you?

This is just a little bit too cute!

David Behnson, a 67-year-old retired orthopedic surgeon, has figured out a way to share his favourite pastime with his best friends: he’s built a kayak so they can join.

“They seem to love it,” Bahnson told The Dodo.

“They get excited when we’d pull the kayaks out and see that we were going.”

He redesigned two of the baggage compartments on his kayak to accommodate his furry children, Ginger and Susie.

“They are trained to get in the kayak themselves on command. They sit down, and off we go. When we come ashore, they’ll stay seated until I tell them it’s OK to get out.”

How adorable!
