If you're as sad as we are today because of the death of the emaciated beached whale in Queens, here's a little something that might pick you up just a little. In the video below, an area man dons his finest rollerblades and gets taken on a rollicking journey through Bushwick by his huskies Casper and Kaiah (he spends much of the trip rollerblading backwards when the huskies pick up speed). Oh sure, this was probably super annoying to anyone ambling along the sidewalks at the time, but the adorable factor kicks this thing way past scooter children level.
Things really kick up around the 3:45 mark, but those huskies are surprisingly smart about crossing the street. We're really not that surprised, considering the fact that Casper can freaking talk.
