The Dog, The Cat & The Rat

[Triple 6]

This is a video of a homeless guy in Santa Barbara and his
pets. You can see these guys every week working State St. for
donations.

The animals as you can see are pretty well fed and I can
attest to how mellow they are. They are, a family.

The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't
have to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture
the rat came along and since no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started
riding with the cat and often, on the cat !

The dog, will stand all day and let you talk to him and admire his
altruistic, we are one personality for a few chin scratches.

The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a
Christmas card.

Enjoy !!

As a confirmed animal lover, all I can say is...how awesome is that! I had pet rats from my teen years into my 30's. Seeing that snugly one almost makes me want another one. You can tell all 3 of those animals are much loved.

Thanks trip!
