Cute, but it's really not fair to the pet if you crash. The last time I rode with a pet was with my imprinted pet "alpha male" 15 lb muscovy duck, SweetiePie, (you read that right!)


on my SeaDoo, just about 20 years ago.

He'd had enough after 20 min or so, jumped off the 'Ski, swam away, and it took me a month to locate and retrieve him. He lost about 5 lbs. in the process. Never again!

No, I’d hate to be responsible for my girl if something went wrong

I have him hanging in a harness so he cant jump and never exceed 40 MPH, no freeway. We are both taking our chances but he is taking no greater chance than my self and it gives him such joy , just like me!

Had a buddy that use to take his Rottweiler for rides, he and the wife on the ultra and the rottie in the side car. The dog loved it but it kind freaked people in traffic out a little.

+1 on the doggles
