Does your dog like electric vehicles? For Mack Hogan, the answer is a resounding yes. Thanks to the federally mandated pedestrian warning sounds required for EVs and hybrids, Mack’s dog Kickflip has become a certified Chevy enthusiast.
Every time his Chevy Blazer EV rolls up to the house, the distinct, spaceship-like hum sends Flip into an absolute frenzy. It means his human is home, or it's time to head to one of his favorite spots, like the beach. But it doesn’t stop there: Flip gets excited anytime a Chevy EV drives by on a walk, even if Mack’s the one walking him.
