The Dog, The Cat and The Rat

Filed under: Videos — DonnaB at 7:06 pm on Wednesday, September 24, 2008

I received the following in an email from Ed. Looks like we could all learn from this.

Here’s one of the strangest things you’ll ever see.

This is a video of a homeless man in Santa Barbara, Ca. and his pets. They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty well fed and are mellow. 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 as 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 him for a few chin scratches. The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a holiday card.

Well, I’ll be. I never heard of such a thing. Amazing what you can train an animal to do. :)

Amazing… isn’t it a shame more people aren’t like that… look past barriers & expectations & just get along…

I hope this man gets lots of contributions. Better yet they should have him working in an animal shelter. He has a gift, I think.
