This was so great. Had to run/walk out to the store, on the way back I saw this guy on a bicycle pulling this baby carriage. I looked in and saw this old black lab lying there and looking out at the scenery. The guy was taking him to the beach but there are a lot of steep hills to the beach, here in Seattle, so this is how they worked out the trip so his dog could save his energy for beach stuff ;-) This is it, a double baby carriage that can be pulled behind a bicycle. 
Back Road BearsI've seen ones like that actually made for dogs in the pet catalogs. You'd be amazed at the things they make for elderly, disabled or just plain spoiled pets! In the black lab's case I'd say he's just plain loved and lucky to have such a considerate owner!
PennsylvaniaRiding a bicycle is one of the few times when a human is able to outrun a dog. It only makes sense that somebody would invent a way that a bicyclist could bring his dog along with him which gives the dog a way to ride along if/when he can't keep up.
Like you said, the dog can ride in the back seat until he gets to the beach so he won't be tired out when he gets there. When it's time to go home, you won't be stuck dragging a tuckered-out dog all the way home. Furthermore, you don't have to worry about riding too fast for the dog to keep up or worry about a dog on a leash pulling you off balance at the least inopportune moment.
Then, when you finally get where you are going, the cart can double as a doghouse so he can have a place to hang out and keep out of the sun if he wants to cool off. If the dog gets sick or hurt, you don't have to schlep an injured pet to the vet without any help.
If you have any personal stuff to carry along, wrap it up and put it in the cart right along with the dog. Who in his right mind would try to steal your stuff when there's a big dog guarding it? 
Maybe some people would spoil their dog with a cart like that but it also makes a lot of sense if you like to go outdoors with your dog a lot.
The Littlest ThistleAww, what a cute idea!
I have a black lab. They are the most loyal and dedicated dogs to their owners. They will do anything to please you. Sounds like after years and years of dedication, this man was returning the favor to his beloved dog. I think this is one of the sweetest things I've heard and I'm going to go give Dolan a big hug now.

DoodlebearsBless that guy for loving his dog so much. I bought a doggy wheelchair for my Chunky, when his back legs no longer worked for him. We should help our furry babies where possible.
Hugs, Jane. 
The Littlest ThistleI just followed a black lab in his car as I came home from my gran's - head out the window, ears flapping in the wind, and he kept sneezing lol Guess it was too sunny or something 
Chaska, MinnesotaThat is a sweet story. It is amazing what is out there to take care of our pets...
