A doggy day care bus! Could there be anything cuter, and more needed? Especially in a place like Skagway, Alaska.

A family dog-walking team in Alaska has become quite the internet sensation after they posted a video of their doggy day care bus.  The husband-and-wife team, called Mo Mountains Mutts, said they never set out to start a business, but it just "grew organically over time."

"I’ve always wanted a bus for my clients. I started out on my bike, then I had a minivan, then I had a large van. One day in the middle of my route my tire fell off my big van," Mo Thompson shared. "I put out a message on my local community page looking for a large van or a short bus. I scored a bus that had been sitting because of COVID."

The couple, who also have an 8-month-old boy named Vern, post these videos on their social media platforms showcasing their daily routines and operations based in Skagway, Alaska. (You MUST watch the video- ADORABLE!!)

"My husband and I are a really good team so we can balance work and our baby together. This wouldn't be possible if my husband had not joined," Thompson continued. In a video, which has already had more than 50 million views on TikTok, the furry friends are shown getting on their bus and finding their seats - just like you would!

"Good morning Jake," Thompson says in the video before Jake finds a seat and is "buckled in" with a dog leash. "I hope it makes people smile," Thompson said. "I also hope that it motivates people to exercise and train their dogs."

And I can only hope that they start franchising this doggy day care bus, and make their way to Las Vegas!

Now - let's enjoy some dogs in cars!
