You know that awkward situation when you love animals but can’t get a pet because of your family member’s allergies? Well, we bet you haven’t thought of starting an animal transport service instead.

Hamilton Taurino, founder of “Taxi Dog,” chauffeurs for dogs, cats, and even birds. He makes three to four trips a day and never misses a selfie opportunity with his passengers. Scroll down to see the many rides Hamilton has been able to provide!

It all started about two years ago when Hamilton was visiting a friend who had a dog. Suddenly, the dog started to have seizures, so Hamilton tried to call three taxis and two Ubers, but no one wanted to take the poor dog to the vet. That's when the man got the idea to start transporting animals himself.

Now, "Taxi Dog" is Hamilton's main source of income and he is more than happy to be working with the most loving customers in the world.

We asked Hamilton how it feels to be seeing and helping lots of animals every day. The man shared that it's just wonderful (wouldn't have guessed differently). "Every day I make new friends who are always loving and faithful."

The idea to take selfies with the passengers came when Hamilton was giving a ride to a Rottweiler. It was sitting next to the driver's seat and the man was dying to take a picture with it. Since then, Hamilton takes selfies with every pet he's transporting.

My neighbor had a Chow and asked if I would dog and fish sit while they went on vacation. I had known this dog since the day they brought her home. The first day, I went in to feed her and had no issues, and then I needed to go into one of the bedrooms to feed the fish. Nope, she refused to let me in the room. Sweet lovable Chow turns into Cujo. Growling, baring her teeth, standing her ground. So I turned to go back to the living room, and she's on my heels licking my hand, wagging her tail and generally wanting attention. I took one step towards the bedroom, and she beat me there. Cujo again. She didn't want me anywhere near David's room. He was developmentally delayed, and she was going to protect his things no matter what. I had the call his sister who lived 20 miles away to come feed the fish. I still loved her and she was a beautiful dog who smiled like this.

Pet owners usually ask Hamilton for his services to bring their fluffy creatures to veterinary clinics for various treatments or examinations, pet shops, shopping trips and beaches.

The most enjoyable part of Hamilton's job is when he safely brings pets back home knowing that the animal is healthy and happy.

I'm so glad you picked me up when you did. I was afraid my coat was getting dust. Keeping it this white is hard work.
