The "Tinkle" of the Ice Cream Truck May Never Sound the Same!



In the "Why didn't we think of that?" category, the worlds first ice cream truck for dogs made its debut last weekend in London's Regent's Park. According to Reuters, it was a barking success, especially considering the heatwave that has been rolling through the city.

The K99 Truck serves two flavors of canine-friendly frozen treats: "Dog Eat Hog World"--a chicken and bacon sorbet--and "Canine Cookie Crunch"--a vanilla-type ice cream laden with dog biscuits.

The truck rolled out as part of the Boomerang Pets Party which took place in the park and according to organizer, Sally Bezant, a team of pet nutritionists were consulted to formulate the frozen treats and determine which flavors would be most successful. But the ice cream comes with an added scoop: it is safe for human consumption!

"It's safe for humans. . . I've tried it myself," she noted, adding that it tasted a bit "different" than the human grade stuff.

Two questions: can we get the American franchise? And can we put the chefs in our book even though they are in London? Maybe Volume 2!
