Dogs being carried is a common sight in Tokyo. Balancing on the back of scooters, however, isn’t. And even more unusual is one that looks as nonchalant as this unquestionably cool little canine.

This cute dog’s balancing is so good!!
And I think the owner and the dog trust each other.
But I still worried for the dog if the owner ride too fast.
And maybe it should wear a helmet too!
I have not seen this sight before.
It is a interesting shot!! 🙂
john says
helmet and nice leather jacket maybe?
If the owner rides too fast there is only teeth to hang on with :o)
Lee says
Yes, an old style helmet with goggles would have been a nice touch!
Same here, never seen such a thing before. And yeah, his teeth would offer the only chance to hang on if there was a fast corner or an abrupt stop. As it was though, he was as calm as could be!
Shizuo says
Carefully, dog 😀
Lee says
Yes, but carefree was more like it!

It’s not that common here where I live (Philippines) but sight a few from time to time. Sometimes Guinea pigs are alternative to carrying dogs.
Lee says
Interesting to hear it’s not a one-off then, although I haven’t seen any guinea pig carrying — yet.
