I goota ride today , what are you looking at HUman?????: leah b.; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:20 AM

That's too cute! Although, it would TERRIFY me because I would be worried non-stop about little pup getting knocked off the seat!: mary; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:20 AM

I wonder what the hazing ritual is to get into this bike gang? 20 minutes of having your face licked without squealing and wiggling?: TwinklyTerrapin; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:22 AM

Is that why the tougue is out is it the rest of the tape ?: leah b.; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:23 AM

How's he staying on there? Tape?: clifford; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:26 AM

Cute! But tell me the little pup is strapped on the motorcycle!: moosie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:29 AM

I think that is absolutely adorable as well but, in the non-nuffiest way possible, I am concerned. How is the little puppeh staying on?: Laura-Kathleen; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:30 AM

You've all got it wrong, he's nailed to the seat, with added suction power, from the motor for good measure.: Hon Glad; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:31 AM

You forgot to mention the sticky-outty tongue in the second photo. Major cute points there.: Emily; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:32 AM

The pup is cute but at any moment could fall off that seat and get run over. So, the horrifying outcome outweighs the cute for me. I also hate to see dogs loose in truck beds...and this is even worse. I hate these two pictures.: Barbara; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:34 AM

I am going to assume that someone who loves their pet enuff to take him with him and buy him a helmet must have found a way to secure puppeh.... luv the tongue: metsakins; | Oct 09, 2007 at 06:57 AM

At least he has the mini-helmet (matchingks too!) to protect him if he falls off.: chanpon; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:04 AM

Oh how cute! There's a man with a lot of self-confidence. I confess, I'm curious as to how the pup stays on the back as well. The puppy must have incredible balance... or really long nails. ;): sas; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:06 AM

i agree with metsakins, if he bothered to put a helmet on the pup- and a matching one at that- then he's probably taken precautions to make sure pup-pup doesn't fall off. i notice he's on a special pad- velcro w/ booties that stick?? or maybe he's a circus dog with excellent balance...: circuscake; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:15 AM

Yes, absolutely. Someone would submit a picture of a small animal about to DIE. I may be a terribly jaded person, but I'm starting to get rather annoyed at people commenting who believe someone would be stupid enough to send a picture depicting actual cruelty to animals to an internationally-read BLOG. Give people the benefit of the [creative expletive] doubt before you start crusading against them. Or are you going to start demanding full explanations for every photo? I'm starting to think that's going to have to happen to keep people shutted the [even more creative expletive] up anymore. Note to self -- do not read CO comment threads while running a fever.: Kara; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:16 AM

Cute! Maybe doggie has Velcro Paws....: Yitzysmommie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:19 AM

Kara, of course they would. People are idiots with their dogs. I once drove next to this pickup who had his german shepherd chained in the truck bed...and the dog had gotten up the window and was riding STANDING ON TOP OF THE CAB. So I'm screaming at the guy to pull over, his dog can fly off the thing - we were about to go over a bridge - and the guy just laughed. that sort of person would submit such a picture and think it's funny.: Barbara; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:20 AM

There is no way that dog is secured to that bike. WTF, seriously? And just because the dog is wearing a helmet doesn't mean the guy was thinking about safety, he probably bought it because it was OMG SO KAYOOOOOT. This makes me sick. It's worse than the idiots who drive with their dogs on their laps.: Dan; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:33 AM

um guyz - do we have any puddin' left from the pom thread? I seem to have some tapioca in the fridge but it may not be enuff....: metsakins; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:35 AM

Barbara - I have to agree with you. I've also had an encounter with just such an idiot. The picture is undoubtedly cute (litty bitty helmet, happy puppy!), but the idea of him zooming around unrestrained is terrifying. SO...I've convinced myself that this was a staged photo op, and that the puppeh was whisked away right after the pic was snapped. "LA-LA-LA-LA!!" (fingers in ears). "I can't heeeear youuuuuuu.....": Lisa; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:38 AM

what about some coconut flavored pudding- 'cause i think things are about to go nuts around here.....: circuscake; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:44 AM

Lisa -- that's how I'm trying to look at it. On one hand I think maybe someone got that puppy a helmet just to be cool, 'cause it matches. You know how people love to dress up their dogs these days. On the other hand, what are the odds of a photographer coincidentally trailing behind these people, able to get such a clear shot, even though they've stopped for a moment?: Laura-Kathleen; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:45 AM

I think this should go in "cute or sad" because this puppy is going to die. :( -My maternal instincts: J's maternal instincts; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:52 AM

There is no way that dog is NOT strapped to the bike/scooter/whatever somehow. We can't see it, but there must be a way. If you've ever ridden on the back of one of those as a human being, you'd know it wouldn't be *possible* for the pooch to have even gotten this far if he were just, you know, sitting there calmly. So, I don't know how because I can't see it myself, but the dog must be secured or he would've fallen off the moment the bike took off at a legitimate speed. Notice that you can't see the pupper's back legs at all. The chichi doesn't seem too concerned, either, which is more than I can say for myself when I've had to be a passenger. So think about that for a sec.: Katy with a Ccapital K; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:58 AM

Scooters don't move that fast that I have seen, well there is a scooter "gang" in NYC that zip around but they aren't motorcycles, maybe the poochie can stay balanced enough for the owner to not worry but would love to see a close up. He should still be secured on there somehow to be safe, even on a slower moving scooter. There is a dog that chills in the back and in the passenger seat of a jeep but he is wearing a harness. You can see in this pic his harness isn't visible. http://www.newyorkshitty.com/?p=2131 (sorry about the cuss word in the name it's not my site) But I have seen this dog and owner all over the place and his harness is not always visible, I have seen it tho. I am not against dogs riding around town with people but I can't see what is keeping this baby in. I would love to know but I have to sadly agree he looks totally loose there. He is adorable I just hope he is wearing something. Stay safe lil Poocheeto! :) http://www.theworldaround.us: Happy LOL Day; | Oct 09, 2007 at 07:59 AM

Barbara (and others) -- then by all means don't feel like you have to come look at these pictures. You're not going to win any animal rights crusades here. You're only making yourself miserable, which is not a way to spend your leisure time. circuscake ~ have I forfeited my right to pudding with my sick-day ire? T_T: Kara; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:02 AM

The best part is the puppage looks sooo happy!: Duckie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:03 AM

mmmm...coconut puddin' circuscake your assessment is probably correct.: metsakins; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:06 AM

That doggy is going to make some super cute road kill!! :D: Mello; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:09 AM

Kara - I think you need to take a break yourself - your head is about to explode, clearly, and you seem to need the calming effect of the cute little animals.: Barbara; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:16 AM

*** Calm down people ***
That is a picture taken in Asia. Scooters are not the same in Asia as they are in the States...therefore I will be the one to say that the dog is not sitting there to ride. People drive like maniacs on scooters in Asia. Even the sidewalk is not off limits for them. Anyone in their right mind would not let their dog ride on the back of their scooter.
I don't think this is a fake photo. Notice the strap around the man's shoulder. If you look the part that is in front of him is larger. I think it's some sort of pouch that the dog rides in. He must have taken the dog out and put it behind him while he waited for the light to change...maybe to let the dog stretch it's legs.: Cauliflower; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:17 AM

HEY, I recognize this place! I think this is Taipei, Taiwan. Yeah, like caluiflower said, there are probably more scooters than cars in Taiwan so this is completely normal! I've seen entire families squished together on scooters. i used to love watching them on my long ride car ride to school every day.: couscoustangerine; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:31 AM

Ooh! I can't see the license plates clearly enough to confirm, but is this the first Taiwanese Cute Overload post???: Taiwanagogo; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:32 AM

I would like to suggest a new CO policy to BLEEN all the nuff comments. It's getting so that I don't even read the comments any more, and that means I'm missing the wonderful and witty comments by people who have been tossing in their two cents since I started reading this blog shortly after it was born (and OMG, was it so cute!!). You know who you are, people. STOP THE NUFFS!: Too Many Maureens; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:34 AM

i dont know if the pup is strapped on or not, but i think the picture is adorable. and the puppeh is so very happy. sometimes they do this stretch the tongue out thing when they first wake up so maybe cauliflower is right and hes just "out of the bag" for a good stretch. besides, i have a very cool barbie pink scooter and i would love to join this biker gang. oh and also, they do go fast enough for a dog to fly/fall off on a corner or stop. it would be very dangerous not to have your dog in a carrier of some sort. AND I love the matchinks helmutts! HA! adorable.: liz; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:34 AM

This is a perfect candidate for the Matchingks category! Soooo cute :): Tracy; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:42 AM

I can't stop staring at his lil happy face!!!!! Next we need a pic of a chihuahua on his own scooter! or a mini side car!: Mello; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:49 AM

Okay I saw three other MAtchinks. :: Please note I did read the whole thread furst... No Machinks, Machinks, Machinks : ). Did you guys save me some puddings. I try to skip all the nasty posts and just read the rest.: Annie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:59 AM

for people who think the pup must be secured on the scooter, look at the info on this page (and see the bottom photo): http://abacus-es.net/motorscooter/petsonscooters.html: steve; | Oct 09, 2007 at 08:59 AM

Opps that was supposed to say Now... Matchinks matchinks matchinks. oh and Lets get ready to Ruuuuuuuummmmmbbbbbbbbllllleeee.: Annie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:00 AM

Can I be the first to call photoshopped? LOL the dog is clearly photoshopped onto the back of the scooter, and therefore, noone, let alone this cute little puppy dog is going to get hurt!: Carrie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:00 AM

thanks, cauliflower. a bag makes more sense than "chihuahua tape" and "invisible straps" and "pretending it's just hunky-dory to zip around on a scooter with a dog struggling to stay on the back as long as there's matcheengs and tongue pointage.": ooh aah hmm; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:02 AM

Carrie -- don't think it's 'shopped ... or else it's awesome-'shopped, because I've been peering at it for a bit now and not seeing any evidence. The bag is probably the smartest assumption I've heard. liz -- Don't join that gang. Start your own, and anyone who wants to join has to paint their scooter pink. (Sorry, I pref. purple, so I'd hafta pass.): Kara; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:14 AM

The scooter is at a complete stop. For all you know the pup could have been placed on the back of the stopped scooter just for the photo.: Errata; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:16 AM

Little guy looks all kinds of stressed out.: Kirstin; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:18 AM

You forgot to add it to the "matchingks" cat-egory.: Helene; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:18 AM

I spy too many busybody "know-it-all" nuffers with opinions on other people's pet parenting skills. I'm sure he let the freakin' dog out to stretch. If he was in a pouch everyone would be boo-hooin' about the poor dog being all cramped up, "dogs aren't accessories," et al. Geeeeeez.: katerpie; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:19 AM

wow! i couldn't even attempt dis with my puppups :( oscar would have gnawed his helmet off by now and molly would bark at every body and every thing, not to mention they're both all scrabbly when it comes to unsure surfaces...: NYgirly; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:21 AM

Y'know, for once, I think the 'nuffs have a point. Unstrapped dogs on Scooters are dangerous, and without context this picture looks like a bad decision all around. But I'm willing to bet he travels a different way - I don't think a dog that size could even stabilize when rounding a corner, so I don't see the point in making him ride that way. It's probably just a break between scoots. That said, what a cute dog. :): Sheenanana; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:24 AM

Ooo! cuteness in Taiwan!! ^_^: luna712; | Oct 09, 2007 at 09:25 AM
