No love for the mid-size dogs?
Actually, I thought puppies were primo chick magnets. I do admit, even though I'm a guy, that I love the cuteness of puppies, too

It's 90% off-topic, but since we are talkinga bout hte benefits of small animals...
....if they weren't known for freaking out at being around humans and dying, i would have loved to have a Tarsier as a pet....world's smallest primate....those things are sooo cool.

I was thinking a courier bag filled with blankets. Wear the bag at my side partly open so my pooch can see the way. Then I thought he might jump out, so put his body harness on him and a short leash tied to my arm, to act as a last defense. Then bike slowly, nice and easy. Any thoughts?

I use a seat belt (body) harness here fastened at the bottom under his chest. I put a swivel on it so he can turn around. He can't get out but can stand, sit, and lie down.

So anyway, somehow, we managed to corner them in a field, and know I think, "Great, We caught them, but WTF do I do now with a 1000# animal I have no idea how to handle?" Fortunately, my partner was an old farm boy from up North and grabbed some rope to tie them up with while I found the owner.

We bought a used Burley Tot trailer, and we've been taking our dog in it. We're trying to get her accustomed to it, so she can go on a tour with my wife and I this summer.

Here's a few pics from the 2006 NSW Big Ride.
The dog was very well-trained & their "mum" was a unique lady (she once turned up to breakfast in a fur coat!)
