00:00This is a school bus with a difference. There's no kids, there's no uniforms, just dogs learning
00:14to live their best lives. That's a cool thing about dogs, somehow they know the time and what
00:19day it is, particularly when it's their day to go on the dog bus. Each morning Joe McBilly picks up
00:23about a dozen dogs from around Boona, taking them for a day of training and play at a purpose-built
00:29adventure park. To have a really well-balanced dog, if you give him the basics and the boundaries
00:35and train them from the beginning, you're going to have a really happy dog. She's usually
00:40just at home on her own, so we did it basically for a socialisation. It can be chaotic. One
00:46moment they're ignoring you, now she's not even interested. The next they're playing fetch
00:53with your camera. Or just falling asleep on a moving bus. They literally know where
01:00their seat is and if another dog tries to get up next to them, if they haven't picked
01:04up their mate that sits with them, that dog will tell that dog to get off. They're photogenic
01:11two. Joe's TikToks have racked up more than three million views. She's also creating job
01:20opportunities for locals living with a disability. Sage Conway Keogh wants to become a dog groomer.
01:26Because I'm a little girl, I love animals. While the dogs are helping Amber Carts to make
01:33new friends. It's touchy. I love them from pieces. I don't want to let it go, you know. With
01:40disability, you do have those off days, but you come down here and that's all forgotten. If
01:46you put dogs in the mix, just sitting here, they can touch and be patting the dog and still
01:51being able to have that conversation, it's really beautiful to see. A mission these pooches
01:56are prepared for.
