This man built a 'dog train' to take rescued strays on mini adventures

Friday marks National Dog Day. The day of the year when the internet comes together to share its appreciation of man's (and woman's) best friend.

How that differs from every other day of the year, we're not quite sure...

Nevertheless, what better way to celebrate the day than by sharing one of our favourite pieces of dog content of the past year?

Back in September, news emerged of the enterprising Eugene Bostick, an 80-year-old who looks after nine stray dogs on his farm in Fort Worth, Texas.

Bostick, a retired railroad employee, has built a train made of fibreglass barrels which he tows along by his lawnmower to take his squad for a ride.
