Here's a story about a dog that actually rides behind his owner on the seat of a motorcycle. From the Omaha World-Herald:
AHOO, Neb. - J.R. is a dog that rides a hawg (a motorcycle, that is) just about anywhere his owner goes.Each day during warm-weather months, J.R. accompanies his owner, Dennis Stuchlik, on the seven-mile ride to and from Stuchlik's welding shop.
He has ridden as far as Grand Island, about 120 miles away, while lying across the back seat of Stuchlik's Honda Gold Wing.
The golden retriever mix is a well-prepared hawg dog. He wears tinted goggles called "Doggles" to protect his eyes from gravel and bugs. He has a black leather Harley-Davidson cap, as well as a hard helmet, for added protection.
"He's my dog. He goes everywhere I go," said Stuchlik, 63.
He said he began taking his 4-year-old dog to work three years ago in his pickup.
"He's a P.R. dog at the shop," he said. "He greets everybody. He just loves people."
When spring arrived that first year, it presented a problem, because Stuchlik regularly rides a motorcycle to S&S Welding from his rural home during nice weather.
So he taught J.R. how to ride, straddled across the back seat.
The dog jumped off only once, Stuchlik said. That was on his initial, slow-moving practice drive down a gravel lane. He hasn't fallen or jumped off since.
