Every week, Eugene Bostick does one of the coolest things. The retired 80-year-old drives a tractor through his town in Fort Worth, Texas. But that’s not the cool part. Attached to his tractor, Eugene hitched eight blue barrels with the tops carved out, and inside each barrel is a rescue dog who’s happily along for the ride.

Eugene and his brother have lived on their 13-acre land since the 1940s. For some reason, people always seem to abandon dogs close to his property.

So what does he do? Eugene gives them a home. After accumulating many dogs, taking them all out proved almost impossible, so the innovator adds barrel after barrel to accommodate his friends on his dog train.

The hour-long ride, which is going viral and delighting readers across the country, has become a simple yet creative way to keep the dogs happy and entertained. Eugene’s route takes them through the Sycamore Golf Course at the back of Eugene’s property. Golfers always get a kick out of watching the train roll by as the dogs bark, sniff, wag their tails, and watch the world around them. I would too!

These dogs seem so excited for their rides.

With all of the cruel things we see in the world on a daily basis, people like Eugene offers a glimmer of hope. We hope he continues his dog train as long as he possibly could.
