How to exercise a large dog—very expensively

Dr. V. is a local obstetrician. He and his wife have always lived fairly simply because that was their way. But when Dr. V. had his Midlife Crisis, he made two expensive purchases that he had always wanted. He bought a completely restored vintage Porsche convertible and a champion sired Great Dane.

His wife started calling the dog Crisis, which is something Great Dane owners might understand, and the name stuck.

Every evening he loads Crisis into the passenger seat of the convertible and they drive off to a deserted road. Then he lets Crisis out on a long lead to run beside the Porsche.

We often wonder if he bought the Porsche to exercise the Great Dane or bought the Great Dane as an excuse to buy the Porsche.

I was adopted by a great dane..found him in front of the library..he got in my truck and wouldnt get out...i named him baby..he stood over my head when he was on hind legs..the sweetest natured dog i have ever had...i loved that dog..but he is what is called a runner..just would stay with some one long enough to have them fall in love with him and then he would take off when he got bored...he was so smart..if i ever get a house again with a yard..im getting another great dane..they are the best..next to pittibulls...

If I ever have a mid-life crisis, I wish I have the money to spend it on a car to run the dog.

A car than size and a dog that size, you could work it so you wouldnt need petrol for your car.

Hahaha!
Actually, I have done this in empty parks in winter. Only not in a Porsche....

This couple is an ideal example of a responsible pet owner. They certainly know that big dogs need as much exercise as small ones. They are however very stylish at the same time!

I'm betting on the latter.."bought the Great Dane as an excuse to buy the Porsche." Regardless, both the pet and the pet owner win.

Great breed, except for their short lifespan.
