It's beautiful day in the neighborhood when you happen upon a mini train with personal cars for a bunch of precious pups.
Eugene Bostick, 80, of Fort Worth, Texas makes that dream a reality for locals by taking rescue dogs for a ride on a train hitched to his tractor.

Love this and had to share!Posted by Tiffany Johnson on Thursday, September 17, 2015
Bostick started taking care of dogs left abandoned by the horse barn he shares with his brother, giving them food and water and taking them to the vet. But he took his calling a delightful step further.
"One day I was out and I seen this guy with a tractor who attached these carts to pull rocks. I thought, 'Dang, that would do for a dog train,'" Bostick told The Dodo. "I'm a pretty good welder, so I took these plastic barrels with holes cut in them, and put wheels under them and tied them together."
The dog train conductor says the passengers are psyched whenever they hear him start up his tractor, which is the most inspiring reason to purchase a tractor in history.
