From a selection of pet products which proves that when it comes to inventing new stuff to sell people, the American economy hasn't lost any of its, uh, creativity:
JOG-A-DOG The easiest way to deal with destructive behavior is with
exercise, but occasionally it’s not realistic to toss the ball with
your pup (long work hours, snowstorms, laziness). Doesn’t mean you
can’t wear your dog out. Joga- Dog, $1,195 and up (JogADog.com) is a
treadmill designed with canines in mind. Side guardrails ensure your
dog doesn’t escape his workout, and an 11- degree incline is said to
provide the resistance needed to build strength and muscle.
This might give Obama some ideas about how to keep Joe The Biden occupied.

My greyhound trainer once fell asleep while a couple of dogs were doing twenty minutes work on the treadmill. He woke after an hour, and the dogs were pretty wild-eyed. It took him some time to get them back on the machines.

A salutary tale. Or a shaggy dog story.
