Bark ‘n’ Ride: Walser Subaru welcomes dogs
March 3rd, 2010By Meredeth Barzen
Maximus takes a ride in a zippy red Subaru. We've been told he's really good at parallel parking.
Folks, we here at Sidewalk Dog don’t like to say “We told you so,” but when we founded this company based on the fact that our nation’s dogs are becoming a bigger and bigger part of our lives, from eating to playing to shopping, well … We told you so.
Case in point: You can even bring your dog with you while scoping out a new set of wheels at Burnsville’s LEED-certified Walser Subaru. “Walser Subaru is absolutely dog-friendly! Bring them along for a test-drive, as long as there’s a bathroom break before,” says Walser Autumotive Group’s Andrea Kopfmann. The dealer supported local rescue Homeward Bound by collecting supplies for them last November and December, and has hosted events for Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota (RAGOM).
Dog-friendly design is nothing new for Subaru—Andrea points out that the company’s hatchbacks make loading and unloading Fido a breeze, and that the cars’ high ceilings and roomy interiors mean he can stand up in back or snuggle into a crate during the ride.

And Subaru is really taking advantage of its canine-centric image with a handful of new “Dog Tested” commercials starring pups with some seriously advanced motor skills (see video below—and keep an eye out for the black lab’s snazzy collar from Minneapolis-based Stunt Puppy).
If you’re in the market for a new ride, take Spot down to Walser Subaru in the next couple of weeks—in conjunction with the Twin Cities Auto Show from March 6-14 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, the dealership will be rolling out some soon-to-be-announced promotions.
