Come here, Buddy. Come here, Rufus.
-
My name is Arat Montoya and I'm the owner of Doggie School Bus.
-
We are about to go pick up the doggies.
-
[Doggie School Bus offers dog day care with pick-up and drop-off service.]
-
These dogs I have right now: Hunter, Tracer and Dina.
-
And this is the rest we're going to pick up.
-
The average day is 20, and the busiest day has been, like, 35.
-
The dogs can't wait for the bus to come.
-
He's right at the window waiting for the bus.
-
I tell him in the house, I said "You wanna go to school?" and he runs to the door.
-
He's always happy when he comes home, and he loves going.
-
Arat got the idea for a 'Doggie School Bus' from his gold Scion car.
-
I put on the stripes, make it looks like a school bus.
-
I put [on] the letters, parked it in the driveway, and I got 16 customers in like two weeks.
-
Today he has 300 customers, who send an average of 20 dogs a day.
-
And he's purchased a bigger 'bus'.
-
For a full day I charge 30 USD and I pick up and drop off within a five-mile radius.
-
'School' is a five-acre property near West Linn, Oregon.
-
Dogs get to socialize and play outside.
-
I'm the happiest man in the world doing what I'm doing, watching my babies.
