Default To my surprise, dog loves sidecar

I got the dog seat setup as an option from Motorvation (basically a board with carpet that replaces the lower part of the seat, slips in and out). Mounted an O ring to it, and modified a standard dog harness. Got some Doggles and a dog "biker hat" from the doggles.com. Plopped the dog in (Wiley, he's a 14 month old Golden, and already huge for his age). I figured he'd go berzerk. But no...he loved it. Wanted to go more and more.

Does he actually wear those "doggles' without fighting you? My dog would have those off in about .2 seconds.

He looks quite dignified sitting there.

Thanks, guys.

Carlo -- those guys installed the thing, so they know it well. Of course, they haven't yet seen Wiley in it. I'll drive up there one day soon with him, and scoot thru the automatic doors into the service area.. Wiley will tear the place to shreds.

Threeten -- yes, I was really surprised, but he wears the Doggles and the hat without objection. I thought he would rip them to pieces. He's totally capable of destroying just about anything. But he is very obedient to me, and I think he really enjoyed it. Maybe he was a biker in a previous life.
