Tag: Doggie Bus

Nope…Mo Mountain Mutts is not a new rock/punk band…but I love the name. It’s basically a doggie daycare that sends a bus out on a cold Alaska morning to pick up all the passengers…and yes they are dogs of all shapes. They are located in Skagway, Alaska.

A video went viral of them a couple of years ago and I watch them when I can. The humans are Mo and Lee Thompson, natives of Michigan who moved to Alaska in 2014. It started with Mo being good with dogs and walking them…soon she and her husband started this.

They go by on a bus and pick up their customer’s dogs. The dogs know what to do and get on in their seats and get strapped in. Mo and Lee Thompson take them for walks and to play in the Alaska wilderness.

This is the video that went viral.

On their facebook page it says: Skagway’s dog walker, pet sitter & family dog trainer. I specialize in trail dog pack walks & puppies

Mo Thompson: “I started working with some teachers at the school. And it just kind of was a ripple effect of ‘Hey, I heard you’re really good with dogs. Can you help me? Hey, I heard you’re really good with dogs. Can you help me?’ And then I needed a second pack walk because I started grouping dogs together by their personalities. So we had our morning crew and our afternoon crew. Then it just grew to the point where I needed some help from Lee (her husband)”
