Interesting sight on ride today

I was riding the multi use trail in town here today and saw something that made me grin.
Comming the other way was an older woman pushing a small stroller. Initially I though she was out for a walk with her grandkid, but NO!
When I pass I see that it is her little dog in the stroller. A little terrier thing. I guess the dog has some heath issues, but she still wants to gewt out on walks with it.

I have a neighbor who does that with her Hound dog. Not so little, but she never goes anywhere without the dog..

Sounds to me like that dog has a well trained owner.

I got a kiddie trailer and no kiddies. Guess who it's for? It sure does make hill climbing without the trailer and dog seem awfully nice!

It's not quite the same. A chihuahua can't keep up with you when you're on your bike. The old lady was just walking.

I've seen a guy with a trailer on his bike with two rather large dogs inside, and another guy on a MTB with a pack with his poodle on his
chest. Judging by where I first saw him and where he turned around, I'm guessing the pooch went on a 40 mile ride!

Both times, the dogs seemed to be having a great time.
