Put him in your saddle bags.---chop him in half and divide him up.

seriously i never even thought this would even be a problem.---maybe you could buy a bike trailer and resale it when finished??

55lb dog could be a real challenge. Strap down a large pet carrier

I would think this would be the only way to carry a dog that big.

I use a Beast Rider for my dog. He's not that big, but they do sell them for dogs that size. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely 100%

I thought of a trailer, seen someone else do that with there Husky, also saw a rider with a little dust mop in his saddle bag, but my dog want fit, he's a little fat *** with a big head.

I think it's a really, really bad idea!Dogs need to move around,scrunched down for long periods would make for a miserable time for your dog.We've got a 60# boxer and a 5# chihuahua and I wouldn't even consider taking the little guy.We're dog lovers and hate to leave our dogs but there's times we have to,need to or just wanna get outa town for the weekend. If one of our daughters cant keep an eye on them,let em out,etc, then the only choice is the Vet's kennel down the street.There's also people that will dog sit for you or neighborhood kids wanting to make a few bucks.

I made this for a friend. The dog in the picture is a 32lb Boston Terrier. He takes the dog in the carrier while he rides two up with is wife. I'm sure it is big enough for a 55lb bull dog. The carrier has quick disconnects and attaches to the same posts as the tour pack. Just an idea for you!

Somebody makes a trailer for just this purpose. Seen it on here before. Try a search.
