Dog Segways

 a segway for each dog leg

Tiny segways for each leg of a dog. The system could be optimized so that the dog's natural running motion translated as closely as possible into that click-clacky undulation motion that propels skateboarders forward.

Actually that doesnt make any sense. It would be better to just have a segway platform that was just really responsive so that if the dog started leaning one way the segway would go that way. Wait a minute, thats the way a segway already is. Can dogs already ride segways?

Someone should just optimise the damn segway for dogs already.

       I, on the other hand, believe that the first line of the second paragraph encapsulates the idea perfectly.

       In New Zealand dogs can already drive cars [link]. Segways would be a downgrade.
