According to My Modern Met, the husband-and-wife team of Mo and Lee Thompson pick up the pups, also known as their clients, buckle them into their seats and drive them to have group walks, socialize, and play.

The company posted their first TikTok video back in August 2021 showing Mo walking multiple dogs. In the comment section, they explain that the dogs that go on the bus and for these walks have special training to be able to do so. They have since posted many more videos showing the dogs getting on the bus and going out for adventures.
