Twitter Asked Elon Musk to Make a “Dog Mode” for Cars… And He Did Not Disappoint

Here’s something that all dog lovers can surely get behind: Tesla just rolled out a “dog mode” for their vehicles. When activated, it keeps the air conditioning running at a comfortable temperature for your pup and also lets anybody walking by your car know that your furry friend is doing just fine.

The idea actually came about from a person who tweeted at Tesla CEO Elon Musk last year.

Musk and Tesla responded and the results are pretty great.

This is how Tesla instructs owners to use “dog mode.”

“To enable Dog Mode, tap the fan icon at the bottom of the touchscreen when your car is parked. Set Keep Climate On to DOG, make adjustments within temperature limits, then leave knowing your pet will stay comfortable. Dog Mode will stay on after you leave your car. If you your battery reaches less than 20% charge, you will receive a notification on your mobile app.”

Tesla also recently announced its “sentry mode” that essentially protects your vehicle when you’re not around. External cameras on the car monitor its surroundings and if someone even leans against the vehicle “alert mode” is activated that warns a potential thief or vandal via the center screen that cameras are recording their movements.

If a window is broken and someone attempts to steal the vehicle, the alarm goes off, the car’s audio plays at maximum volume, and the owner is alerted through an app.

I think it’s safe to say we are now living in the future.

A Man Smuggled His Dog into the Hospital to See His Dying Wife and Now We’re All Crying

There’s a reason this story has been going viral on Reddit and other social media sites: it’s absolutely heartbreaking, yet incredibly sweet at the same time. It also goes to show just how incredible the bond us mere humans can be lucky enough to have with our precious dogs.

The Reddit user shared his personal story about his wife and dog, Bella.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Uggghhhh. The man’s dying wife wanted to see her dog one more time, so the husband decided to sneak the pooch into the hospital in a suitcase.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Seems like Bella knew she had to be quiet so she wouldn’t alert the hospital staff.

Photo Credit: Reddit

The dog made it into the hospital and got to say goodbye to his mama before she passed away a few days later.

Where are the tissues? This story calls for at least a whole box.

As has been said over and over, we don’t deserve dogs.
