When we bought our place there was a (very steep) accessibility ramp to the front door, I later found the wood from the original steps. I saved the extra wood from the ramp because I knew I would need partially rotted treated 2x6s someday. Today was that day.

My daughter’s dog is about 14, and she has a broken leg last year. Since then she has had issues getting into my Tacoma, and now my wife’s SUV.

I used the left over lumber and made a step for her. I have some 2x8s that were attached to the stringers, so I will probably make another of these. Put the lower one next to my wife’s SUV, and the taller one by mine.
