Hog-Riding Dog is Leader of the Pack

He’s a good boy, on a steel horse he rides….

People in Jacksonville, Florida may be noticing a little something unusual on the roads lately. Chaz Dunlavy has a special passenger on board his Harley: His dog Buster. Turns out that like us, Buster loves riding a motorcycle, feeling the wind in his hair, and the attention he gets from onlookers.

“We see a lot of cell phones, a lot of people wanting to take his picture, and it’s like he knows what it is now,’ Dunlavy told WJXY News. “He turns and lets people take his picture and then turns back, puts his paws on me, and we go.”

Buster is secured tightly to Dunlavy by a custom bag he rides in, similar to a backpack. Buster wasn’t bothered by the Harley’s power or roar, in fact, he loves it.

Dunlavy says, “Every time I grab that bag he’s like ‘It’s time to go on the motorcycle!’ So he gets excited.” We completely understand, Buster, we do the same thing.

Buster, now one, has been riding for the last five months. He even has his own pair of goggles to wear. Hey, this seasoned rider knows he’s gotta have the right gear.

The goldendoodle got such a following that Dunlavy’s family created an Instagram account for the good boy. To see more of this lucky dog in action, give him a follow.
