Why Give A Kid A Pony When They Can Just Ride Rover? [Three Days Later and I'm Still Laughing About Kids Riding Dogs]

For those of you out there who were thrilled by the informative Teaching a Kid to Ride a Dog website that I posted about last Friday, but thought "Man! That's a brilliant idea, but that could never happen in real life, right?" I have culled the depths of YouTube to bring you video proof (!) that kids can indeed ride dogs.

"Riding Rudy" (set to the soft musical stylings of "Forever Young")



"Justy and Jagger" (fluffy dog alert!)



"Madelyn Riding Dog" (this one is particularly nerve-wracking given the tininess of the baby)



"Girl Rides Dog" (not only is the dog in question a tiny dachshund, but the dad actually advises the baby to "Grab her by the ears!")



And the winner for the most oversized kid riding the most undersized dog while wearing 'super fly' early-90s gear and demonstrating both the clean and dirty connotations of the verb 'riding' goes to...

"Andrew Riding a Dog"

I think you mean completely hilarious and totally educational.

I agree that kids can indeed ride dogs. Of course, like with any sport and activity, training is required for the kids to stay on and be able to ride them like a horse. In "Riding Rudy," the kids are riding Rover, jockey style, but I have seen kids riding in a upright position on the Dog Riders Society. Like Tim Veldboom and Jeff Greene have said, one requirement is that the dog must want to do the activity. It seems to me that Rudy is enjoying all the attention he is getting from the kids. With a little more practice, they should be able to ride Rover like a horse with the dog walking and they riding on his back just like you do with a horse.
