Once before, I posted a photo of Lilly in a sidecar Tom restored. That’s how I met Bobaji (The Sidecar Dog) and his person, Van. I’ve blogged about them before as well, but their NYC video got pulled from YouTube. Ultimately, I wrote an article about their cross-country tour for Fido Friendly. I believe it’s out now and hope to post a link to the piece soon, but suffice it to say Bobaji had some behavior issues before Van came into his life.
BUT, here is their tour trailer (kind of like a movie trailer), if you need to catch up.
Van and Bo are blogging now too, so I wanted to suggest you visit them often. Loads of cute videos of people and pets they meet on their adventures.
ALSO, they are using mostly their own money to fund the tour and their efforts to raise awareness of shelter pet adoption, so if you know anyone in a position to sponsor them with cash or even a new motorcycle, do let Van know. I’d hate to see such a neat project falter because of a lack of funds.
My husband keeps talking about getting a motorcycle – then, I point out the dog transportation problem (how do they go with you on a motorcycle, I ask). His comeback is always a sidecar. I’m *not* going to let him see your cute picts of Lilly in the sidecar or there’ll be no stopping him!
Great video of Van and Bobaji…what a hoot! I’ll visit his blog. Adorable picture of Lilly in the sidecar…she’s ready to rock and roll! Tom does nice work on sidecars.
