Authors comments
When the user had dogs she drove a dogsled with three dachshunds along an old railway track that has become a pedestrian and bicycle path. Today, when she no longer has her dogs she uses this equipment anyway. It is extremely easy for another person to push.

  2. Jag såg dina bilder. Jag har multipel skleros och mina hundar drar mig i min stol, när vägarna är torra.
