One Colorado Uber ride comes with more than just a friendly driver—it comes with Bowie, a four-legged co-pilot winning over passengers one tail wag at a time.

His owner, Kevin Ferman, started bringing Bowie along for rides last year, thinking it might make the experience more fun. He wasn’t wrong. Passengers were instantly charmed, and before long, Bowie was racking up fans online.

Ferman started sharing videos of Bowie’s interactions, capturing the pure joy of riders discovering their unexpected furry travel companion. Reactions range from delighted squeals to full-on gushing. “This is way better than, like, anything,” one passenger raved. The internet agreed. In April 2024, Bowie’s videos started exploding, gaining tens of thousands of views overnight.

Now, “The Uber Dog” boasts hundreds of thousands of followers, with fans eagerly awaiting the next heartwarming clip. College students, especially those missing pets back home, are among his biggest admirers.

With every ride, Bowie turns strangers into fans. Who knew an Uber trip could be the highlight of someone’s day?

Scrolling through dog videos is fun, but what if it also made you a better dog owner? Instagram is packed with trainers sharing real, practical advice—no gimmicks, no fluff.

Frederico Alfredo isn’t just any dog—he’s a therapy pup who spends his days bringing joy to hospital patients in Brazil. But recently, the tables turned, and it was his turn to receive a little extra love. He waited patiently at the airport, holding a tiny sign and a "PAW Patrol" balloon, eager to reunite with someone very special.

Frederico had been separated from his brother, Tunico Bastos, since puppyhood. Their families, though living in different cities, had stayed in touch. After a visit the year before, it was finally time for a reunion. As passengers stepped off the plane, Frederico stood front and center, wagging his tail in anticipation.

When Tunico finally arrived, the two wasted no time picking up where they left off—playing, exploring, and, of course, annoying each other like true siblings. Their families spent the week sightseeing, but the real highlight was watching the brothers reconnect.

Their story is a reminder that love—whether human or canine—can withstand distance and time. And sometimes, the best way to say “welcome home” is with a wagging tail and a tiny sign at the airport.
