Danica Patrick reshared a hilarious clip via her instagam on Monday (April 28), which was originally posted by British actor Joel Wood, in which he jokingly appealed to scientists to increase the life span of dogs. Patrick herself has two dogs, which includes a Belgian Shepherd and a Siberian Husky.
Ever since her retirement from motorsports in 2018, Patrick has used her social media to shares glimpses from her personal life on a regular basis. This also includes regular updates about her two dogs, Ella and Dallas.
As a dog-mom, the former IndyCar driver also shares a lot of canine related memes and jokes via her social media. She also reshared a hilarious dog-related reel on Monday.
British actor Joel Wood shared a video on April 23, where he joked about how scientists need to get their priorities right by focusing on increasing a dog's lifespan rather than adding another camera to the iPhone. He said:
"This is a message to all the science and tech companies. I don't want another iPhone, okay? I want my dog to live till sixty. Get your priorities right, what are you doing? I don't want another camera on my iPhone, I don't want AI. I want my Cocker Spaniel to live as long as I do, okay? So get cracking, use your intelligence for good."
Patrick simply reshared this hilarious reel via her instagram story and offered no comment of her own.
