My Origin Story

It started, as most great adventures do, with a human making a questionable decision. My chauffeur β€” let's call him Robert, because that's his name β€” decided one day that motorcycles were cool. I came to the Viall family as a small puppy from south central Texas. I have always been an energetic dog and love riding along on motorized things. I decided to join him on a motorcycle ride one day after he got me a very nice backpack to ride in.

The first ride was a revelation. Wind in my ears. Bugs in my teeth (a mixed review). The whole world rushing past at exactly the right speed. I was hooked. Robert was just happy I stopped barking at the bike.

That was one year and three rides ago. We've covered over fifteen miles together, so far in my training. I've seen mountains, oceans, and deserts all from the front seat of a semi truck, so it was decided to give being a backpack a try. I've been patient about taking trips, because my chauffer doesn't always get to take me even though I want to go.

My Gear

A dog takes her kit seriously.

Bailey in her goggles

The Goggles

Namsan Specs. Non-negotiable. My eyes are precious and the wind is relentless. Also they make me look extremely cool, which is a bonus.

The Backpack

Maxine One Dog Backpack Carrier. Backpack made by Little Chonk. Keeps me secure on my chauffer's back without restricting my ability to lean dramatically into corners.

About My Chauffeur

He drives. I supervise. It works and we have FUN!

Robert

Licensed Driver
Unlicensed Navigator

Robert has been riding motorcycles for twenty two years. He is a competent navigator approximately 80% of the time, which I consider acceptable. He is excellent at finding dog-friendly rest stops, mediocre at reading maps, and genuinely great at belly rubs. I keep him around for the belly rubs.
