From cats to vacuum cleaners to - dogs: check this: a guy I met this weekend has a setup where his dog rests on the aerobars of his tri-bike. For added precaution, the owner loops a lanyard around his neck which attaches to the dog's collar.
His dog loves this, apparently: if the owner heads out the door with his bike, the dog whines if it thinks he's not going
Photographic proof:
You can't make this **** up!

The Griswalds loved their dog too - took him on a long cross country trip once. He kept up for as long as he could - if I remember correctly.

Not a Zipp - can't recall the maker, but it's an interesting bike - the top part of the frame is a boom of sorts that slide fore and aft, and of course the seatpost is adjustable, too. The guy's setup had him pretty much directly over the BB.
Here's a pic of the bike:
Maybe someone on this kooky thread can ID it

^ Wow, that's gotta be worth some serious Euros! I had an original "Keep On Truckin'" poster a few years back; sold it on Ebay for just under 300USD - and it wasn't mint by any means.
Even so, it took awhile to get over the seller's remorse that resulted from that auction

An old Ideale 42 saddle that I recovered this weekend. My 26th effort. Not perfect, as you can see, but it'll do for a rider.
