Since my dog is a Newfoundland, a petite Newf of 110 pounds, I've never contemplated riding with her. It would involve investing in a serious trailer. However, my son & daughter-in-law have a Silky Terrier. "Harry" is an older boy (just how old we don't know) that has a lot of problems. Josh dropped him off at work this morning for some more tests. Harry, all 7.6 lbs of him, rode home tucked in the front of my jacket with his head poked out the top by my chin. I don't know if he enjoyed or was scared to death, but he never attempted to climb out. Josh tells me he enjoyed it because his mouth was open, that is one of those things only a parent can know for sure.

If he didn't pee down your front - or worse - I'd say he wasn't scared to death.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Uh - oh. I always thought my baby was too small to be part Newf, but he only weighs 125 lbs...
He's not going riding with me any time soon!

What a great story! I suspect that Josh is right and that your puppy rider liked the experience.

Great story! I'll bet it was a great adventure for him.
