My Dog Astro Loves the Treadmill

Everyone always says they have a pretty smart dog. My dog Astro amazes me every day. His latest thing is standing on the treadmill and beaconing us to turn it on for him. I'm not kidding, he goes about 2 miles at 5.5 mph. When he's done he just jumps off. He's a pretty high energy dog and it's not always easy to walk him, you know, being so busy with other things. This works out perfectly and probably burns off more energy than just a walk. He truly is Astro the Wonder Dog.
