Thanks for ride mind of I give you a kiss

It all started about two years ago when Hamilton was visiting a friend who had a dog. Suddenly, the dog started to have seizures, so Hamilton tried to call three taxis and two Ubers, but no one wanted to take the poor dog to the vet. That's when the man got the idea to start transporting animals himself.

Now, "Taxi Dog" is Hamilton's main source of income and he is more than happy to be working with the most loving customers in the world.

    Plot twist: Dog: "Can you tell me what did do to deserve to wear this pink bow and pink leash? I just ate mom's visitor's food. By the way, I'm a boy." Seriously now, cute girl. Love the bow really.

    We asked Hamilton how it feels to be seeing and helping lots of animals every day. The man shared that it's just wonderful (wouldn't have guessed differently). "Every day I make new friends who are always loving and faithful."

    I often do the same thing but my taxi drivers usually aren't that happy about it. One was once.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The idea to take selfies with the passengers came when Hamilton was giving a ride to a Rottweiler. It was sitting next to the driver's seat and the man was dying to take a picture with it. Since then, Hamilton takes selfies with every pet he's transporting.

    My neighbor had a Chow and asked if I would dog and fish sit while they went on vacation. I had known this dog since the day they brought her home. The first day, I went in to feed her and had no issues, and then I needed to go into one of the bedrooms to feed the fish. Nope, she refused to let me in the room. Sweet lovable Chow turns into Cujo. Growling, baring her teeth, standing her ground. So I turned to go back to the living room, and she's on my heels licking my hand, wagging her tail and generally wanting attention. I took one step towards the bedroom, and she beat me there. Cujo again. She didn't want me anywhere near David's room. He was developmentally delayed, and she was going to protect his things no matter what. I had the call his sister who lived 20 miles away to come feed the fish. I still loved her and she was a beautiful dog who smiled like this.

    idk if this applies to all dogs, but that is a really long tongue

    Pet owners usually ask Hamilton for his services to bring their fluffy creatures to veterinary clinics for various treatments or examinations, pet shops, shopping trips and beaches.

    The most enjoyable part of Hamilton's job is when he safely brings pets back home knowing that the animal is healthy and happy.

    Awww... the dog on the right reminds me of my mother's dog. His name was Troublesome Puppy. And he was, but in a goofy way. He grieved himself to death after my mother died. He was only 3. I bet he is smiling with my mom, just like these cute pooches.

    It's horrible how much they look like the hybrid human-alien thing in Alien 4 Resurrection now. What's wrong with a nose that acually functions and doesn't squish other face-parts.
